It is also stated that the player is seeing an opportunity at Inter slip away, Napoli are leading the race for him in Italy. Earlier, it was perceived that the race for the Italian would be a Milan derby. But now, potential options are also appearing in England and Newcastle are also interested in the ex-Roma youngster.

In the enquiries that Napoli have conducted, Aurelio de Laurentiis ascertained that a fee of around €45 million would be enough to sign the Italian.
