Napoli have reportedly moved ahead of Milan and Juventus in the race to sign Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny.
The forward helped the Ducali achieve promotion from Serie B last season and has impressed in the top flight too so far this season, thanks to four goals and one assist in 12 Serie A games.
He only turned 21 last month and the asking price for a summer sale is reported to be at least €20-25m.

According to Calciomercato.com, while Milan and Juve are already showing interest, the team in the lead currently is Napoli.
Antonio Conte sees Bonny as a valid understudy to Romelu Lukaku and his entourage has already reportedly been in contact with Napoli emissaries.
Juventus seem to have rather more urgency in their search for a centre-forward and could try to make a move in January, if Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik injury problems persist.
Parma have the France Under-21 international locked down to a contract that runs to June 2027, having signed him from Chateauroux as a free agent in the summer of 2021.
