Atletico hijack Napoli target Trippier?

By Football Italia staff

Atletico Madrid are reportedly ready to make a huge offer to hijack Napoli’s deal for England and Tottenham right-back Kieran Trippier.

According to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, the Rojiblancos are preparing to make a massive bid for the Tottenham Hotspur defender - as they will have around €130m to spend on rebuilding their squad after the potential sale of Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona.

The Azzurri have been heavily linked with the 28-year-old in recent weeks, with the Daily Mail and Il Mattino both reporting today that he had already agreed personal terms with the Neapolitan club, but it seems that the La Liga side could scupper that deal.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are also reported to be interested in signing the former Manchester City youth product.
