Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente is reportedly on Napoli’s radar in the summer transfer window.
Fernando Llorente is open to joining Napoli in the summer transfer window, the Tottenham Hotspur striker’s agent has told CalcioNapoli24, as translated by Football Italia.
According to media reports in Italy, including in publications such as virgilio.it and Il Mattino, Napoli are interested in signing Llorente from Tottenham this summer.
Chus Llorente told CalcioNapoli24, as translated by Football Italia: “We know nothing about any interest from Napoli.
“Until now no-one has contacted us from Napoli or Tottenham, so I don’t have much to say about it.
“Of course, we’d be honoured to deal with the Italians because we’re talking about one of the top clubs in Italy.
“We’re talking about a top club, so it would really be a great honour if it was true that Napoli wanted him. We absolutely won’t renew with Tottenham.”
Tottenham Hotspur exit inevitable?
Llorente struggled to make an impact at Tottenham last season following his move from Swansea City in the summer of 2017.
The 33-year-old struggled for playing time, and even when England international striker Harry Kane was injured, manager Mauricio Pochettino did not always play the Spain international striker.
It is hard to see the former Juventus and Sevilla striker at Spurs next season, especially as he is good enough to lead the line for some other major clubs.
It is perhaps inevitable that Llorente – who earns £75,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – will leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham will be aiming to win the Premier League title next season, while Napoli will have their eyes on the Scudetto.
