Etienne Capoue’s potential move to Napoli, initially seen as a priority for the Italian club to bolster their defensive midfield, has encountered complications. According to Sport MediaSet, the transfer is facing serious hurdles due to a disagreement over the purchase price set by Tottenham for the French international. Tottenham is reportedly demanding no less than 15 million euros to facilitate Capoue’s departure.
Martha Fischer, the agent of the former Toulouse player, expressed frustration with Tottenham’s asking price during an interview with Radio CrC on Tuesday. He described the London club’s request as absurd, stating, “The problem is not the player, nor Napoli. Tottenham are simply asking for a lot of money. Their request is simply absurd. But hey, we’re only on January 21, so there’s still hope.”
With a few days left in the transfer window, there remains a possibility for Tottenham, Napoli, and Capoue to reach a compromise. If an agreement is not reached, the player may have to continue his season in England. The negotiation process will likely unfold in the coming days as the transfer deadline approaches.
