Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Max Kilman is the ‘number one goal’ for Napoli after being deemed ‘remarkable’.
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who say they Serie A champions are pushing to get a deal over the line for the 26-year-old.
They explain that Kilman has been ranked as ‘remarkable’ by the Italian club, and his rating is ‘indeed excessive’ in their reports.
Napoli have already offered €35m through President Aurelio de Laurentiis but that was not considered ‘sufficient’ by Wolves for now.
They have set a €40m asking price on the defender because they also owe 20% of a future sale to his former club Maidenhead United, who they bought him from for £40,000 in 2018.
Whether Napoli are willing to go that high remains to be seen, although they will have the funds to do so if they sell Kim min-Jae to Bayern Munich as expected.
That’s something to be worked on in negotiations with Wolves, who have set their asking price for the player if a deal is to happen this summer.
