The life of a top-flight footballer must be tough<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Millions in the bank, exotic holiday\u2019s and you get most\nafternoon\u2019s off, who would want that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throw into the mix two Italian heavyweights tussling for\nyour signature then you can see the troubles Spurs right-back Kieran Trippier\nis faced with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is clear that Mauricio Pochettino is happy to let Trippier\nleave White Hart Lane (or whatever it\u2019s called) this summer with a fee of\naround \u00a325 million mooted as the figure for the 28-year-old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That sounds like something of a bargain for a star of the\nWorld Cup and regular in his sides run to the Champions League final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, with Serge Aurier and youngster Kyle Walker-Peters\nwaiting in the wings at right-back, Pochettino feels that position is well\ncovered for the foreseeable and it is one area he can generate even more funds\ninto the Spurs coffers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not feel bad for Trippier as the two sides tussling for\nhis signature are none other than Juventus and Napoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arguably the two biggest clubs in Italy as both sides would\nrepresent a great step in Trippier\u2019s career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n New Juventus boss Mauricio Sarri is keen on the defender and\nknows him reasonably well having seen him up close and personal on the pitch when\nmanager of Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it looks like Juve right-back Cancelo is heading to\nManchester City despite having only joined the Old Lady last season and Sarri\nwants Trippier as his replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Napoli may be one-step further down the road though having\nalready opened talks with Tottenham about Trippier and it is another former\nChelsea gaffer who set the transfer in motion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carlo Ancelotti is the Napoli manage and he clearly sees\nsomething in the English defender two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A nice position to be in then for Trippier who after losing\nhis place in the England squad for the Nation\u2019s League finals, appears to be\nhappy to try a new challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Tottenham do get \u00a325 million for the 28-year-old, it will\nsee Spurs gain a \u00a33.5 million profit on the player they signed from Burnley\nfour-years ago and wherever he goes, it looks like being a transfer saga in\nwhich everyone comes out a winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cheerio Kieran and best of luck. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The life of a top-flight footballer must be tough.
