Tottenham have set a high asking price of €45 million for their Swedish star Dejan Kulusevski.
Kulusevski’s future at Tottenham has become the talk of the town in recent days. While the Swedish international has been a consistent performer for the North London club since joining them from Juventus, they still seem willing to sanction his departure ahead of next season.
Valter De Maggio has talked about Napoli being one of the clubs who are interested in signing the 24-year-old winger who is valued at €45 million.
While talking about Kulusevski’s future on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, journalist De Maggio said: “Napoli survey for Swedish striker Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham’s request is 45 million euros. To be seen if the requests will decrease in the coming weeks”
Kulusevski joined Spurs in the winter of 2022 on an initial 18-month-long loan deal which became permanent last summer. He has featured in 96 matches for them and has contributed towards 34 goals (15 goals, 19 assists). Last season, he was involved in 36 out of their 38 league games and even contributed towards 11 goals (8 goals, 3 assists).
While he is quite an important part of Postecoglou’s first team and still has four years left on his deal, Tottenham seem interested in cashing in on the technically gifted winger. The North London club are looking to offload a few of their wide players as they look to bring in players who can help them take the next step.
With the ball on his feet, Kulusevski is quite a dangerous winger to deal with but he doesn’t have the pace to take on defenders which might be one of the reasons why they are willing to part ways with him. They could look to bring in a replacement who has the added pace and can be a better fit in Postecoglou’s style of play.
While Napoli are keen on signing the 24-year-old and have enquired about his availability as they look to reinforce their attack, the asking price of €45 million does seem to be too high for them. As a result, they will most likely look to play the waiting game to see if Spurs lower their demands.
