Antonio Conte wants to reunite with Dejan Kulusevski at Napoli
According to Calciomercato, Antonio Conte wishes to reunite with Spurs attacking midfielder Dejan Kulusevski at his new club, Napoli.
The two worked together when Conte was in charge of the North London club.
Aston Villa are also interested in the Sweden international.
Kulusevski joined Spurs midway through the 2021/22 season from Juventus on an initial loan move that was made permanent last summer for £29.2 million.
During his time in North London, the 24-year-old has scored 15 goals and provided 19 assists in 96 appearances across all competitions.
Valued by Transfermarkt at €55 million, Kulusevski currently has in place a £110k-per-week contract at Spurs set to run until June 2028.
A player Spurs won’t want to let go
Albeit in fleeting moments, Kulusevski has sufficiently demonstrated at Spurs that he is a promising player who, if the club choose not to be trigger-happy with their managers as they have been in recent seasons, can grow into a world-beater in the coming years.
Moreover, given how things ended between them, the last thing Spurs would want to do is help Conte as he tries to resuscitate his reputation as a serial winner in Naples.

We do need to keep in mind, however, that Napoli are set to lose Victor Osimhen. There’s a small chance Khvicha Kvaratskhelia might follow the Nigerian star out of the Stadio Maradona as well, in which case there is a slim chance Spurs may end up receiving a too-good-to-refuse offer for their Swede. That, however, is a very unlikely scenario, though you just never know.
