Apparently Rafa wants Vertonghen for Napoli for €11million:rolleyes:

Rafa Benitez is due to take over at Napoli and will raid the Premier League, targeting Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva and Jan Vertonghen of Tottenham.
On Friday President Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed the agreement with Chelsea Interim Manager Benitez, then backtracked.
“I cannot officially announce it until he is released from the club he is currently contracted with. I cannot tell you who it is because of UEFA regulations. As soon as the club release him, I will announce it.”
Nonetheless, transfer speculation is already in full swing both in the Italian and British media.
A target in defence is Spurs man Vertonghen, the 26-year-old who has impressed under Andre Villas-Boas this season.
Napoli hope to include Federico Fernandez as part of the deal to lower the €11m price-tag, as he is valued at €6m following a loan spell at Getafe.
TalkSport suggest that Benitez is looking at his old club Liverpool to snap up Brazilian
midfielder
Lucas Leiva.

It was Benitez who first brought Lucas to Anfield from Gremio in 2007, but Napoli face an obstacle because he only recently signed a contract extension.
There are also continuing reports in Italy that Fernando Torres could arrive from Chelsea if Edinson Cavani is sold.

From Football Italia

I thought we could do with a laugh, Vertonghen who has just made the PFA team of the year, has a low price tag despite us getting him in a cut price deal because he was in his last year of contract and him having a good first season, right(y).

Throw in some of Rafa's moustache trimmings and then we'll talk.

Being a football journo must be the easiest job in the world.

They aren't even that, you're giving this person too much credit. Being a wannabe football journo/bedroom football blogger is the easiest job in the world.

This is obviously nonsense, but I am concerned that Barca will come in for him in the next 12 months.

Of course you are concerned. While we laugh at the thought of Napoli and tfsw at the helm poaching our prized defender, in reality, there is a pecking order and we are far from the top.
