President Aurelio De Laurentiis has, according to CalcioNapoli24, had the opportunity to bring Umtiti and Junior Firpo to the San Paolo, but the report claims both players have salaries exceeding the costs the patron is willing to offer.

Napoli have allegedly shown their admiration for both players, but Umtiti’s salary of €8m a year and the €5m of Junior Firpo has put the Azzurri off trying to make a deal with the pair.
