Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Napoli have reached out to Tottenham regarding the availability of Giovani Lo Celso.

The report alleged that the Italian side saw the Argentine 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.
However, the publication explained that Napoli might struggle to match the current salary that the midfielder earns at Spurs.
Napoli have now enquired about Lo Celso at Spurs
Di Marzio says that the reigning Serie A champions have now taken the first step by asking Tottenham ‘for information’ about Lo Celso.
However, the journalist revealed that while Napoli are looking to sign the 27-year-old on an initial loan deal with an option to buy, Spurs want to either sell the player either outright or include an obligatory purchase clause in any loan deal.
Di Marzio added that as things stand, there is ‘still a distance’ between the two parties.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham will be keen on getting a bidding war going for Lo Celso this summer.
However, despite the fact that the Argentine is attracting plenty of interest, the Spanish and Italian clubs interested in his services do not have much money to spend this summer.
Spurs’ best hope of getting a decent fee for the 27-year-old would perhaps be to sell him to Aston Villa if Unai Emery is keen on a reunion.
