Hirving Lozano at risk of being excluded from Napoli project

Hirving Lozano is threatened to be excluded from the Napoli project for the new season.

According to a report by Il Mattino via TMW, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has threatened to put Hirving Lozano out of the club’s project for the season and is currently searching for a viable way to offload him from the ranks.

The Mexican has asked to leave at the final price of €12 million in transfer fees and interested parties are yet to appear. He has said ‘no’ to a contract renewal offered him at the end of last season, thus pressuring the Partenopei management to sell him to another club.

New manager Rudi Garcia is aware of the tension between the 28-year-old and the president as he is working for mediation for a respectable solution soon.

Napoli have identified Eintracht Frankfurt’s Jesper Lindstrøm as a possible replacement for ‘Chucky’ Lozano, should he leave this summer.
