Everton may be a potential destination for Napoli winger Hirving Lozano should he opt to leave the Serie A leaders for a fresh start in Premier League next year, an agent who once represented the Mexico international tells Gonfia La Rete.
The former PSV Eindhoven talisman has hardly had an easy time of it on Italian soil.
Inconsistencies regarding his fitness and form have dogged Lozano’s Napoli career. And, if that wasn’t enough, he now has perhaps the most in-form winger in European football – a certain Kvicha Kvaratskhelia – ahead of him in Luciano Spalletti’s pecking order.
“He still hasn’t shown his full potential. Only in a small part when Gattuso was there. Then later he suffers injuries and other things,” explains Alessandro Monfrecola.
“If we want Lozano (in top form), he must play on the left. With Kvaratskhelia at his current level, it’s hard for him to play there. In my opinion, Lozano will leave next summer. Also, because he earns over 4 million euros a year at Napoli.”
Would Everton really make a move for Napoli winger Hirving Lozano?
Lozano has less than two years remaining on his contract at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. And, with plenty of Premier League clubs having shown an interest in the £36 million signing in recent transfer windows, Monfrecola believes that England may be Lozano’s most likely destination.
“Even though he is delighted to be here, he has never hidden that he aspires to the top English clubs,” the agent adds. “Even if now he is probably realizing that Napoli itself is a top club.
“He has never hidden that he loves Barcelona and Real Madrid. But unless (former Napoli boss Carlo) Ancelotti falls in love with him again, he has no market (in La Liga).
“I think he can join Manchester United side or Everton. This does not rule out that other English teams. My personal prediction is that he will go in June.”
Lozano has started just five games in Serie A and the Champions League this term, with Napoli sitting pretty at the top of their domestic and European tables.
