The news comes from England and the "Telegraph" has published it. According to the British newspaper, Napoli would be interested in Jan Vertonghen, 32, central defender of Tottenham. The Belgian has a contract expiring in June and has so far not renewed. The operation could make sense given the many problems of the Neapolitan defense in this period. And an experienced player like him could be useful to Rino Gattuso. Among other things, Vertonghen is national and, therefore, friend and companion of Dries Mertens who, if asked, would certainly give him positive tips on Naples and Naples. Again according to the British newspaper, Ajax, the club from which the defender started, was also on the player, before being transferred to Tottenham.
NEAR LOBOTKA - Much more concrete, however, is the negotiation that should lead Stanislav Lobotka to Naples. Today Cristiano Giuntoli will return from the United States, where he spent Christmas. It will be the diesse to try to give an acceleration for the closure of the operation. Dance a few million more: the president of Celta Vigo does not want to drop below 25 million euros, in all probability De Laurentiis will satisfy him by inserting in the operation some bonuses related to the player's performance and the team's results.
OUTGOING - It could be the last Neapolitan days of Lorenzo Tonelli, 29 years old, that Napoli has put on the market. The defender is interested in Sampdoria and Cagliari. The first solution could be more welcome to him, because it would be a return. The club, meanwhile, is also considering the opportunity to lend the young midfielder Gaetano, who Ancelotti made his Champions League debut against Genk, albeit for a few minutes.
