Club ‘working to overcome’ two obstacles to sign Wolves star – Belief deal can be closed in ‘short time’

On Wednesday, La Repubblica stated Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Max Kilman favours a move to Napoli as it will give him an opportunity to play in the Champions League next season.

The Serie A winners have identified the centre-back as a priority target to replace Kim Min-jae.

That’s according to Calcio Napoli 1926, who say the Naples club are ‘working to overcome’ obstacles to secure the Wolves player’s signature in the summer window.

Tottenham Hotspur have also joined Napoli in the race to sign the 26-year-old. The Serie A side could easily overcome this because he wants to play in the Champions League, something that Spurs cannot offer next season.
It’s said Julen Lopetegui’s side value the 26-year-old at €40m. This is the second obstacle as Napoli have offered around €35m to the English club, which they rejected.

The Italians, however, are confident of overcoming this by potentially including bonuses or by offering to pay the difference at a later date.

All the other defenders that are on the Italian champions’ list are also going to cost around €40m, but Kilman is the favourite target for Rudi Garcia.

Therefore, the report states a deal for the Wolves defender can be closed in a ‘short time’ with the two obstacles seemingly easily overcome.
