Calcio Mercato have claimed that Napoli are now considering making a move for Giovani Lo Celso since they are in need of reinforcements in the middle of the park.
The report states that not only have Napoli lost Tanguy Ndombele but they could also lose Piotr Zielinski, who is attracting interest from Lazio as well as from Saudi Arabia.

So, the Serie A side are said to be keeping a close eye on several midfielders, with Lo Celso being one of them.
It is alleged that the Argentine is seen as an ideal fit for manager Rudi Garcia as he can play as one of the three midfielders in a 4-3-3 while also being able to operate behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1.
Napoli have their eye on Giovani Lo Celso
Calcio Mercato claim that Lo Celso has been a long-term target for Napoli, with the Italian club also having explored a move for the Spurs star last summer.
It is suggested that the reigning league Champions could look to replicate the Ndombele operation by signing the former Real Betis star on an initial loan deal with an option to buy.
However, the report adds that Napoli face two stumbling blocks in the deal – Tottenham would prefer to sell Lo Celso permanently and the midfielder’s current €4.5m (£3.8m) per year wages is beyond what they can offer.

It does seem like the competition for Lo Celso’s signature is now heating up. Tottenham will look to get a bidding war going so that they can get around £20m for the midfielder.
However, the problem for Spurs is that many Italian and Spanish clubs have still not recovered fully from the economic impact of Covid and thus do not have much money to spend.
