Rumoured Tottenham Hotspur target Lucas Correa could be on his way out of Napoli this summer.
Radiosei as relayed by La Lazio Siamo Noi have claimed that Correa is not guaranteed to be in Maurizio Sarri’s plans after he took over from Simone Inzaghi.
Correa is currently taking part in the Copa America with Argentina, having come off the bench against Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay.
The 26-year-old scored 11 goals and provided six assists in 36 games across Serie A and the Champions League during the past campaign (transfermarkt).
Tottenham’s managing director of football, Fabio Paratici is reported to have been keen on the striker while he was part of the management team at Juventus and attempted to take him to the Serie A giants last year.
Corriere dello Sport claimed in their print edition on Friday (25/6) that both Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in the forward, who is open to the prospect of moving to the Premier League.
Lazio are said to be demanding a minimum of between €30-40million (£25.7-£34.3million) if they are to part company.
