Napoli are plotting a shock move for Tottenham attacker
Napoli’s interest in acquiring Dejan Kulusevski from Tottenham Hotspur has stirred the football transfer circles. Initially reported by Radio Kiss Kiss and relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb, the potential move has sparked discussions among fans and pundits alike.
Once hailed for his exceptional performance at Tottenham, especially following his transition from Juventus over two years ago, Kulusevski’s form has dwindled in the past 18 months.
Despite maintaining his reputation as one of Spurs’ most industrious players off the ball and occasionally showcasing moments of brilliance in the attacking third, such instances have become increasingly sporadic.
In the midst of Kulusevski’s struggles, Brennan Johnson has emerged as a noteworthy contender for the right-wing position at Tottenham. With consistent performances over the past months, the Welshman’s claim to the spot seems justified, prompting discussions regarding Kulusevski’s place in the team.
According to Radio Kiss Kiss, Napoli is contemplating a move for Kulusevski this summer, potentially testing Tottenham’s willingness to negotiate. This pursuit aligns with Napoli’s ambition to secure the services of Antonio Conte as their manager.
Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly willing to go to great lengths to bring Conte to Naples, and his admiration for Kulusevski adds weight to Napoli’s interest.
While it’s uncertain whether Tottenham and manager Postecoglou are eager to part ways with Kulusevski, Napoli’s interest could sway their decision.
Despite Kulusevski’s underwhelming season, his value in the market remains significant. Spurs might be enticed to entertain offers, particularly if Napoli presents a lucrative bid, speculated to be in the vicinity of £50 million.
In conclusion, Napoli’s pursuit of Kulusevski adds an intriguing dimension to the summer transfer window. As discussions unfold, the future of the talented winger hangs in the balance, with both Tottenham and Napoli poised to make decisive moves that could reshape their respective squads.
