Report: Tottenham want almost £38m to sell player amid Napoli interest
Tottenham Hotspur are clearly looking to clear decks this summer, but there is one player who is wanted by Napoli that the club might not want to sell. Whether they do or not, it is thought the asking price needs to be dropped if a move is to happen.
Dejan Kukusevski to Napoli unlikely
In recent days, rumours have started circulating suggesting Dejan Kulusevski is wanted by Napoli. Tottenham, however, reportedly want €45m (£37.8m) for the Swede, which has put the Italian side off.
That’s according to CaclioNapoli24 reporter, Valter de Maggio, who said: “Napoli have made a survey for Swedish attacker Dejan Kulusevski. Tottenham’s request is €45m. It is to be seen whether the requests will decrease in the coming weeks.”
It is not known whether Spurs would drop that asking price, especially given Kulusevski is under contract for another four years, and appears to be happy at the club.
CalcioMercato reported previously that Napoli were hoping to use the ‘special relationship’ between Kulusevski and the new Napoli manager, Antonio Conte, to make a transfer happen.
Kulusevski is wanted closer to home
Napoli are not the only club linked with Kulusevski of late. A report from Football Transfers recently claimed Aston Villa would look at signing the Spurs man after losing Moussa Diaby to the Saudi league.
In that report, it was suggested the Lilywhites could be more open to letting Kulusevski go if they were to sign Pedro Neto this summer.

I cannot see Spurs letting Kulusevski go regardless of price, but it would take a lot more than £38m to tempt the club.
Given his contract, his age, his ability, and his potential, why would we sell up for such a relatively cheap fee? If he can hit his best form, Kulusevski will be a key player for us this season.
