Manchester United’s desire to provide cover and competition to Aaron Wan-Bissaka has seen them get linked with a few right-backs.
Among them is Napoli’s Giovanni Di Lorenzo and last Saturday, La Stampa reported the Red Devils believe the 27-year-old would suit the Premier League.
There were even rumours of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side tabling a €20m bid for the defender.
On July 12th, we carried a report from CalcioNapoli24, who explained the Serie A side have ‘no confirmation’ of receiving any offer from the Old Trafford club for their player.
Di Lorenzo was part of the Italy squad that won the European championship and played the entire match against England in the final and also the semi-final clash against Spain.
“When De Laurentiis spoke at the press conference explaining Napoli’s losses, and that all his players are transferable and that if appropriate proposals arrive, he will evaluate himself,” Giuffredi said.
“If proposals arrive, we are obliged to take them into consideration, also in the interest of Napoli, because it is the president himself who has put everyone on the market. So, we feel we are on the market. If an appropriate proposal arrives it’ll be discussed and considered.
“But now they are newspaper talk, I read about Manchester United but now they are newspaper talk. If there were real things, we would be the ones to communicate it to Napoli. At the moment no request has arrived.”
