Antonio Conte TELLS Everton the player he wants to sign from them, he is ONE of the TOP player in Everton and will be a huge loss to Everton

Napoli, led by Antonio Conte, is interested in signing Everton defender Vitaliy Mykolenko, according to Sky Sports News. Conte, who previously managed Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, has taken over at Napoli and is looking to strengthen his squad after a disappointing defense of their Serie A title last season.

Mykolenko, a Ukraine international, made 28 appearances in the Premier League for Everton last season and was not booked in any of his 34 outings across all competitions. He also featured for Ukraine at Euro 2024, making one appearance against Belgium in the group stage.

It is unclear whether Everton boss Sean Dyche would be open to selling Mykolenko, and the potential transfer fee that Napoli might offer is also unknown. However, Conte’s interest in the defender suggests that he sees Mykolenko as a key player in his plans to rebuild Napoli’s squad.

Mykolenko’s ability to play as a left-back or left wing-back would provide Conte with flexibility in his defensive options. The Ukrainian’s pace, energy, and defensive skills would also be valuable assets for Napoli as they look to challenge for domestic and European honors.

Conte’s appointment at Napoli has generated significant attention in the football world, and his transfer targets are being closely watched. The Italian manager has a reputation for building strong, competitive teams, and his interest in Mykolenko suggests that he sees the Everton defender as a key component of his Napoli side.

In other transfer news, Oxford United is set to give an imminent medical to a transfer target, while Stoke City has clarified their stance on the price tag for a wanted player. Additionally, there are no signs that Manchester United will take up a transfer option on a star player.
