Hysaj (or his agent) came out and said negative things about Ancelotti once he left Napoli.
Scratch him off the list.
I think if you take a look around at right backs who arent at the very top clubs you'll find that there really arent many that you would want.
Hakimi is at Inter but they have money issues, he'd probably cost £40mil but is as much of a guarantee to be one of the best around and can play multiple positons (RB/RM/LM).
Look past him and you have:
Mukiele (Leipzig)
Emerson (Barca/Betis)
Dest (Barca)
Celik (Lille)
Lamptey (Brighton)
Baku (Wolfsburg)
...and of course Aarons.
So you can see if Barca/Inter need the money for Dest/Hakimi and even if they'd want to come or take a gamble on one of the others.
For €35-40mil quoted (£30-34mil) the price suddenly doesnt seem so exorbitant for someone with a lot of games under his belt, English premium with u21 caps...who will have been scouted alongside Godfrey.
If we dont get him, the question then becomes....who do we get?
Theres not many attractive options unless Brands can find a hidden gem somewhere like Brighton did with Lamptey, which is a gamble in itself.
