Tottenham reportedly ready to sell star forward to Serie A giants
Lately, there’s been a lot of buzz about Dejan Kulusevski's future at Tottenham Hotspur.
As Napoli's interest grows and former Spurs boss Antonio Conte expresses a strong desire to work with the 24-year-old again, Tottenham might be willing to let Kulusevski go if they receive a tempting offer.
According to CalcioMercato, Tottenham is considering making Kulusevski available for transfer this summer. The report highlights that Napoli is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to make a move depending on how things unfold with Kulusevski’s standing at Spurs. The winger's current status at Tottenham is described as "unstable," adding further fuel to the transfer speculation.
Conte’s interest in Kulusevski is not surprising given their history together. The Italian manager has previously worked with Kulusevski at both Juventus and Spurs, and it seems he is eager to bring the player to his new club, Napoli. Reports suggest that Napoli would need to shell out around €45 million (£37.8 million) to secure Kulusevski’s services.
The prospect of Kulusevski leaving Spurs is complicated by other factors. Aston Villa has also shown interest in the winger, aiming to replace Moussa Diaby. If Kulusevski were to move on, Tottenham would reportedly look to Pedro Neto as a potential replacement, according to Football Transfers.

From a Tottenham perspective, the potential sale of Kulusevski raises several questions. The Swedish international has demonstrated his creativity and attacking prowess, making him a valuable asset when in form.
Despite a shaky spell, he has shown glimpses of his talent in pre-season matches, particularly when deployed in a more central role. Many fans and analysts believe this position might be his most effective, given his playmaking abilities.
If Tottenham chooses to sell Kulusevski, finding a replacement who can match his creativity will be essential. The club will need to weigh their options carefully and make strategic moves to ensure they keep their attacking prowess intact.
For now, the future of the Swedish winger is up in the air, and Tottenham's upcoming decisions will be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike.
