Carlo Ancelotti’s friend visited Napoli training today and revealed he is “trying to sign an interesting, young, important striker," rumoured to be Michy Batshuayi.
The new Partenopei Coach replaced Maurizio Sarri this summer and is back in Serie A after spells at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
“I saw Ancelotti really happy, as he is enjoying himself at Napoli,” friend and basketball Coach Alberto Bucci told Sky Sport Italia.
“He hadn’t been given 20 days for pre-season training for over 12 years, so he has the opportunity to create so much here. There are the right conditions to build the team he is dreaming of.”
With Arkadiusz Milik barely playing for two years due to a series of knee injuries, Napoli have been linked to several strikers.
“He is trying to sign an interesting, young, important striker, but I can’t name names, I can’t betray a friend. A clue? It’s not Morata.”
Reports had emerged today that Napoli might join the list of clubs tracking Chelsea forward Morata, along with Milan and his old team Juventus.
According to Calciomercato.it, this is another Chelsea forward, specifically Batshuayi.
The 24-year-old Belgium international has just returned from a six-month loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
