According to the news that has quickly spread on the web, the agent of the player would have released statements about the interest of Napoli for the Lille player, which turned out to be a huge misunderstanding. In reality, as the GG11 agency that takes care of the professional interests of the boy lets us know, no collaborator of Gudmundsson would have released such statements.

There was confusion around which Gudmundsson was being discussed for a potential transfer to Napoli. It was clarified that it was Gabriel Gudmundsson of Lille, not Albert Gudmundsson of Genoa. The news came from an interview with the player's agent.
