More that media are speculating with anything to sell papers. Conte has and will always buy a player he feels is right for him, regardless of league or nationality.

Pizy 18,994 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I thought he had a crazy £60-70m release clause? Plus that wacko owner De Laurentiis that always forces clubs to pay up. Yet more lazy media links simply because he plays in Italy and we have an Italian coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He most likely doesn't, besides the odd 2 or 3 (which i would say seem true Nainggolan and Higuain IMO), it is just a lot easier for journalists and papers to make up stories with him and Serie A players due to him being Italian. Rudiger, Nainggolan, Morata, Higuain, Cavani, Manolas, Zaza, Bonucci, Pogba, Pjanic, Perisic, Giaccherini to name a few. All linked, and all play in, or have played in, Serie A and likely known by conte. So easy to link them to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fantastic striker. Higuain is a tremendous player. I'd take him even if it meant Costa left. Diego attracts too much hassle and his mere presence gets oppo fans right up for it against us.

The man is passionate and has brought Napoli back from the brink of destruction to one of the Serie A's best clubs. He nor the club he runs exist to pander to the needs of Chelsea or any other club.

OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Raiding Napoli for Hysaj, Higuain and Jorginho would be good to be honest, as long as we get rid of Ivanovic, Remy and Mikel. Also if Nainggolan deal falls through that Allan looks like another decent alternative. Although I doubt we could sign so many players from Napoli but still wishful thinking huh.
