Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want £40 million for Napoli summer transfer target Kieran Trippier.

Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that he wants to sign Kieran Trippier from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, as quoted in The Sun.

According to The Sun, Italian club Napoli are interested in securing the services of the Tottenham right-back this summer.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Spurs want as much as £40 million as transfer fee for the 28-year-old, who can also operate as a right wing-back.

Napoli manager Ancelotti has suggested that he is interested in bringing the former Burnley defender to his club this summer.

The Sun quotes Ancelotti as saying: “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, there are people who come on holiday.

“But Lozano and Trippier are players who we are evaluating, then later there is everything else that is much more complex.

“Negotiations, players who prefer other things. Among the players we are interested in there can also be these.”

Tottenham Hotspur exit

There is no smoke without fire, and Ancelotti publicly stating that he wants Trippier suggests that the defender could be on his way to Napoli in the summer transfer window.

The right-back is not having a great season on a personal level, and with Tottenham reportedly demanding £40m for the England international, it does seem that an exit is likely.

According to WhoScored, Trippier has made 27 appearances in the Premier League and six in the Champions League for Tottenham this season.
