Napoli ask for £ 13.5m for Tottenham target Arkadiusz Milik

Napoli have set their price for striker Arkadiusz Milik, with the striker leaving the club in January.

Sportsmail reported in September that Tottenham Hotspur were ready to meet Milik’s replacement and that the club were in talks over a £ 25million deal to sign Milik as a backup to Harry Kane.

Jose Mourinho’s side eventually signed Carlos Vinicius from Benfica on a season-long loan, but Brazil are still available in the Premier League so Spurs may renew their interest in Milik.

According to Aim, the current LaLiga directors of Atletico Madrid and Italian giants Juventus are interested but would have to pay £ 13.5m for Milik.

The 26-year contract in Naples runs out at the end of the season, meaning clubs outside Italy can start contract negotiations for a free transfer from January.

Milik has scored 48 goals in 122 appearances for Gennaro Gattuso’s side, but has reportedly been willing to leave.

In October he told SportoweFakty: ‘Napoli wanted to extend my contract for five years and gave me two options: sign or leave.

‘I decided I wanted to try something else. This is the right time to try a new challenge.

‘There was never any hostility on my side towards Naples. I wanted to solve everything professionally. ‘

The 56-cap Polish international also expressed disappointment at the fact that he was left out of Napoli’s Serie A and Europa League teams through the media and not the manager .

The Partenopei willing to negotiate a little on the proposed £ 13.5m levy, with the knowledge that foreign clubs could get hold of it for free at the end of the year.
