Report: Napoli reject Chiriches bids

By Football Italia staff

Napoli have reportedly rejected bids from Stoke City and Cardiff City for Vlad Chiriches, who is set to play a first-team role at the San Paolo.

According to CalcioNapoli24, Chiriches ‘convinced’ Ancelotti at Napoli’s preseason retreat in Dimaro, despite offers in the region of €12-18m.

Consequently, the Romanian should compete with Kalidou Koulibaly, Raul Albiol and Nikola Maksimovic for a place in the centre of the Partenopei’s defence.

That would also pave the way for Lorenzo Tonelli to leave the club, with Cagliari, Sampdoria, Genoa, Chievo and Torino all interested in the stopper.
