Lozano has been heavily linked with a move to Naples in the Italian press and reports last week claimed the deal was almost done.
However, De Laurentiis has indicated that Lozano is only their second choice.
According to Voetbal International he told Italian radio, “James is Carlo Ancelotti’s wish. I am not 100% sure whether we can attract him, but there are no doubts about his qualities.”
“I have to help my coach. Carlo wants James and I have to work on it, even though he is very expensive. If we cannot make a deal with Jorge Mendes (James’s agent), Then I will talk to Mino Raiola to see if we can attract Hirving Lozano. ”

Ancelotti knows James & likes him. Tho him & Chucky are very diff players. James is best from #10 can work wing but best as AM. He is a great player did well for Bayern a lot of fans wanted to keep him. Another player wasted at Real. Had a Spurs fan tell me if Dani Cellabos was any good he would be playing. You could make a top 8 team of Real players who they don’t want or are on loan Mariano Diaz great CF wasted 3 starts but still w sub’s a goal every other game & 2 assists. Raul de Tomas another CF 13 goals for Huesca, Llorente, Hakimi, & had buy back of Mario Hermoso who is so good. Cellabos had over 100 appa before went to Real 2 years ago was great at Betis like Lo Celso is now & with only 17 starts over 2 seasons he has still scored screamer against Betis & scored 5 & 3 assisted this season. Killing it for U22 Championship could get player of season again Am he scored screamer in 9 mins then CM he ditacted play & set up Finals sublimely.
Why players like Rodrygo go £40m he won’t play.
But went off on ramble diff players if Chucky doesn’t go to Napoli then they will need to keep Insigne & reckon a PL club comes in bc he has rne pace skill & work rate for PL
