Ancelotti stonewalls Tottenham interest in midfielder
The Tottenham target has been targeted as a potential replacement for Mousa Dembele, with Tanguy Ndombele of Lyon also on the list.
Diawara is liked by a number of clubs, and was targeted by Bayern back when he was at Bologna… at a time when Ancelotti sat on the Bavarian’s bench.
The Guinean midfielder showed some promise early on with Napoli, but has only started 15 Serie A games since joining two seasons ago for €14.5 million.
According to reports from Italy, Ancelotti won’t countenance a departure, and has let the Partenopei know about it. He joined the Neapolitan side at the beginning of summer, and doesn’t want the windfall from a potential sale.
The Italian Coach could be set for quite the turnover: he’s replacing Maurizio Sarri, and may lose Marek Hamsik and Jorginho.
