Kieran Trippier and Hirving Lozano has entered the radar targeted by Napoli players. Carlo Ancelotti, Napoli coach, confirmed it and both are the target players of Manchester United.
Trippier, positioned as right-back, was targeted by Napoli to be an alternative if Elseid Hysaj left and layered Kevin Malcuit. While Lozano to sharpen the front lines that rely too much on Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne.
Ancelotti confirmed Napoli’s interest in the two players. However, the chances of success in signing Napoli both depend on club negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven. It’s not easy to complete the transfer.
“I don’t like talking about players from other teams. Trippier’s wife in Naples? I honestly don’t know, but Naples is a beautiful city and there are many people coming for vacation,” Ancelotti said, as quoted by Calciomercato.
“But, Lozano and Trippier (really are) the players we evaluated, then next there are other things that are far more complex. Negotiations, players who like other things. Among the players we are interested in can be in that category. “
Man United are eyeing both of them for the same reason. Trippier was plotted to become right-back after Antonio Valencia left at the end of the season. While Lozano is going to sharpen the front lines, especially if remembering Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez’s inconsistent plays.
Trippier, 28, has a tag of 35 million euros, while Lozano (23 years) has a price of 40 million euros. Both Napoli or Man United need a dowry of approximately 80 million euros to bring in these two players.
