Branchini: Napoli can go for Diego Costa and James Rodriguez

Charismatic Italian agent Giovanni Branchini can see Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis moving for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

Branchini believes De Laurentiis will need to make a big name signing should he choose to sell Lorenzo Insigne this summer.

On Insigne, he told Tuttosport: "Maybe he will leave. For Napoli, it is essential that (Kalidou) Koulibaly remains. And if Insigne goes away, an important one would come: for example Diego Costa.

"Then there is James Rodriguez (Real Madrid), another very strong player who could arrive in Italy in the summer."
