Club could offer attacker to Wolves to sign 26-year-old – President can’t ‘stop thinking’ about Molineux star
Napoli are in the market looking for a new centre-back after having sold Kim Min-jae to Bayern Munich and have identified Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Max Kilman as one of the targets.
Area Napoli state Napoli manager Rudi Garcia has set his sights on RC Lens’ Kevin Danso while the club’s sporting director Mauro Meluso is in contact with VfB Stuttgart’s Konstantinos Mavropanos.
At the same time, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis would ‘not stop thinking’ about the Wolves defender, especially after CONI announced the British players will no longer be considered as non-EU players.
It’s claimed Julen Loptegui’s side have requested €40m for Kilman, which is deemed high by the Serie A winners. This has convinced the Naples club to find another formula to sign the 26-year-old.
Area Napoli state the Italian champions could include Hirving Lozano as part of the deal to lower the price for Kilman.
The report adds the Wolves manager has appreciated the Mexico international in the past. The winger has a year left on his contract and his current wages won’t make the negotiations easy.
The website makes no mention if the Premier League side and/or Lozano are open to this formula, but it is known that the Mexican has a penchant for the Premier League.

The Molineux side were slapped with an FA charge over vile homophobic chanting from their fans in their clash with
Travelling Wolves supporters have been told to be on their best behaviour against Celtic as the English Premier League side sent a firm warning.
The Molineux side were slapped with a £100,000 FA charge over vile homophobic chanting during their clash with Chelsea in April and club chiefs have told the travelling punters heading for Dublin they do not expect a repeat against the Treble winners. A large Parkhead contingent are due at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Brendan Rodgers’ side ramp up their preparations ahead of their curtain raiser against Ross County on August 5.
A statement from Wolves said: “Wolves head to Dublin on Saturday afternoon as the Old Gold play their first match in Ireland since 2014 when they take on Scottish champions Celtic. Thousands of Wolves supporters have already snapped up their tickets for the 2pm pre-season friendly at the Aviva Stadium to watch Julen Lopetegui’s side continue their preparations for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
“Supporters travelling to Dublin are asked to ensure they represent the club in a positive manner before, during and after Saturday’s game. After the club’s recent punishment from the Football Association in relation to homophobic chanting by some Wolves supporters during our match against Chelsea in April, it is pertinent to remind supporters that the club operate a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination, harassment and victimisation relating to sex, gender, sexual orientation as well as religion or race and disability.
“Wolves urge supporters to show respect and not chant songs that could be regarded as insulting to others, particularly from a religious or political perspective. All unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with in line with our acceptable behaviour policy.”
