Serie A team claims that even though Napoli is very interested in the winger, it would be very tough to convince Dejan Kulusevski to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
Kulusevski hasn’t exactly made an impression at Tottenham over the past few months, as evidenced by the winger’s exclusion from the starting lineup on Tuesday against West Ham United.
Italian media has speculated recently that Napoli would try to convince Spurs to let go of the Swede by making an offer this summer.
A few days ago, Sport Witness and Radio Kiss Kiss stated that Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of the Serie A club, expressed great interest in hiring Antonio Conte as manager.
It was clarified that De Laurentiis is willing to spend a lot of money on Kulusevski because the Italian manager is rumored to be a huge fan of the 23-year-old, and this is how he plans to entice the former Spurs manager to the team.
It will be difficult for Napoli to sign Dejan Kulusevski.
TMW has now asserted that Ange Postecoglou is unwilling to part ways with the winger, making Napoli’s pursuit of Kulusevski “complicated.”
MORE SPURS Update
According to the source, the defending Serie A winners will likely receive a hefty sum of money—more than €100 million (£85.6 million)—when they sell Victor Osimhen, and they would need to spend about €60 million (£51.4 million) of that money on Kulusevski if they want to acquire the Tottenham player.
The article also states that Daniel Levy will make the discussions challenging, much like he did when Napoli made an attempt to sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg last summer.
Lastly, TMW note that Spurs have not yet placed Kulusevski on the market, meaning the Partenopei may need to pay a hefty signing bonus to acquire the striker.

Even though Tottenham would not be eager to let go of Kulusevski this summer, I believe they would give a bid of about £60 million considerable consideration. The Swede, for all of his great abilities, is not the kind of winger Ange Postecoglou prefers in his system.
