I honestly feel Maksimovic to Napoli is nothing to do with Koulibaly to Chelsea. Naples have got enough money for Higuain so they have money to spend. Also Maksimovic and Koulibaly will make a great defence for them.

Lots of talk that Torino finally give up and agree to sell Maksimovic to Napoli. For over a month there was a story that Napoli only hold on Koulibaly until they sign a replacement. That was the only stumbling block. They also are close to sign Caceres.

I wonder if that apparent offer for DL isn't reminder to Napoli that we still have money to spend and can spend it elsewhere. Will be interesting.

I don't think this is going to happen.  

 

There's a Brazilian defender at PSG who's quite good on the ball, but his positioning is a bit suspect at times.  

It seems that someone at the club has been following my posts.

Napoli trying to strike another deal for CB.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke to Naples based Radio Kiss Kiss to discuss the market that has just come to pass.

“We bought Tonelli and Maksimovic not because we didn’t believe in our own, but ahead of the AFCON [held in early 2017]. Tonelli had already played with Sarri, and we had tried to get Maksimovic for nearly two years. But the defense was already well equipped. It’s just not a rumor that Chelsea offered more than 50 million for [Koulibaly], it’s true we rejected it.”

Aurelio De Laurentiis looks like a cunt that comes  home from the napoli office and dresses up in women's  clothes and wanks over lady boys porn with cigar hanging outta his mouth

Or one of our PL rivals more likely.

Dime a dozen CB that uses brute force over intelligence. No thanks.

[Thor 2,121]

Keep Koulibaly. Enjoy overrating your players and ending up anywhere from 3rd to 8th like you do every year. 

[Fernando 6,376]

We just took too long because after juventus went for Higuaín, this move was never happening. 

As well with radja at Roma. Once Roma got pjanic it was too late.

And watch us bring back one of the best young central defensive talents in Christensen FOR FREE!

Boys, to be quite fair, I was the one banging on how he was the BEST option on the market. 

However, assess this carefully. 
He has got 1 good season behind his back.

Sarri only improved his technical abilities on the ball, his defending skills were already there, but he still has lapses in concentration.

Napoli concede a goal nearly every game.

Huge price tag. 

Given all these three points and add to the fact he's got AFCON in January, I'm actually glad we went for Luiz. People are massively, MASSIVELY underrating him. Compared to Koulibaly, he may look like a technical version of Mamadou Sakho and yes his lapses in concentration can lead to unnecessary fouls or loosage of marker, but still he is a great defender. 
I'm not saying we shouldn't have bought K2, but was such a huge risk, especially given the sum of money we were willing to pay. This wasn't the Nainggolan situation, where you are guaranteed a class player with consistent performance during the years. Would have hated another Mangala. At least with Luiz, we know what we are getting and hopefully Conte can work on his liabilities the same way he did with Barzagli at such an old age.
