The Italian journalist and international football expert, Antonello Gallo, published a message on social media reporting rumors involving the club led by president Aurelio De Laurentiis: "I am told from abroad that Napoli are interested in midfielder Boubakary Soumaré. Leicester are already in contact with Torino, but the player is on Garcia's list who would appreciate him very much, together with a Portuguese whose name I was not told ".
Gallo then answered a question about Lo Celso, approached by Napoli to reinforce the midfield to be made available to the new coach, Rudi Garcia: "A loan from Lo Celso has not yet lapsed". Napoli has frequent contacts with the agents of the Argentine midfielder and would like to set up the possible deal with the formula of the loan with the right to buy while the English club would like the sale on a permanent basis.
