Dortmund overtake Napoli and take the lead in the race for Gio Simeone

Sebastian Haller is suffering from a malignant testicular tumour. The attacker will therefore have to undergo chemotherapy sessions and will be sidelined for some time. 

Dortmund are already making moves to find a replacement for him. According to the latest reports, Giovanni Simeone, who plays for Hellas Verona, is on the list of candidates for the position.

Borussia don't want to make a soap opera: they need a striker and they want the Argentine. Therefore, according to 'Marca', the plan is to travel this Thursday to talk personally with his club about his transfer.

The German side would thus overtake Napoli, who a few days ago sounded like a possible destination for the Argentinian. The other options on the table for Diego Pablo Simeone's son are Juventus and Sevilla.

Hellas Verona bought the player's rights from Cagliari after he had his best season on loan with the 'Gialloblu'. He made 35 appearances, scored 17 goals and provided five assists, figures that have taken him to the European spotlight.
