Antonio Conte has made it clear to the club’s board that he wants a competitive squad with high-level players to take the team back to where it belongs both in Italy and in Europe. And on that priority list is a name that has not gone unnoticed: Dejan Kulusevski.
The Swedish Tottenham winger has always been a player preferred by Conte, it was evident during his time at the London club. His versatility, dribbling ability, and tactical work make him an ideal fit for the style the coach aims to impose in his new Serie A venture. As reported by ‘Calciomercato’, Conte has explicitly asked for his signing and considers him crucial to his project.
Conte asks Napoli for a strong financial effort
Napoli will be willing to make a significant financial effort to secure Kulusevski’s services. There is talk of a possible offer ranging from 30 to 40 million euros, a significant amount for the Neapolitan team, but justified by the profile and performance of the Swedish player, who at 24 still has plenty of room for growth.
The operation will not be easy, as Tottenham have no intention of easily parting ways with one of their most talented players. However, Conte’s tenacity and the player’s desire to work again with the Italian coach could be key to finding common ground. This summer’s transfer market promises to be lively in southern Italy.
