Emanuele Giaccherini s agent has confirmed a deal to take the Italy international to Napoli is all done .
Giaccherini has endured a largely ineffective three-year spell at Sunderland, struggling to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League, after joining from Juventus in 2013.
Having spent last season on loan at Bologna, the 31-year-old impressed hugely at Euro 2016 with a series of influential displays for the Azzurri.
That sparked interest from Torino, but it appears Napoli have pipped them to Giaccherini s signature.
His agent Furio Valcareggi told Radio CRC: We re almost there, it s all done for Giaccherini, the last few details are being ironed out with Sunderland.
The boy is very happy. It was a choice made by him and his wife.
He s finally getting what he deserves after being underestimated for years.
On Torino s interest, Valcareggi added: We had an agreement but then came an offer from Napoli.
[Torino chairman Urbano] Cairo may not agree with our choice but he will understand why. The career of a footballer is short and everyone has the right to choose.
It was inevitable that an offer by Napoli would be answered affirmatively.
