Napoli still want James even if club-record transfer for Pepe is completed


Carlo Ancelotti has made no secret of his desire to sign the Real Madrid playmaker, even if they spend big on Lille's much-wanted winger
Napoli will still try to sign Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez even if they pull off a club-record deal for Lille’s Nicolas Pepe, sources tell Goal.
Rumours have been circulating on Friday that Carlo Ancelotti is among the host of managers around Europe wanting to sign Pepe, with a reported agreement around the €80 million (£71.9m/$89m) mark.
That would be roughly double the club’s current record transfer – the €40 million outlay to sign Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid six years ago.
