The headline operation that could unlock Napoli's market, however, involves striker Lorenzo Lucca. The forward, who was a major investment for the club costing €35m (€9m loan fee plus €26m obligation) from Udinese, is the subject of strong interest from Benfica.
Jose Mourinho's side are keen to bring Lucca to Portugal, but negotiations have hit a stumbling block over the valuation. Napoli initially requested a package worth €30m, a figure Benfica deem too high. While the Portuguese giants reflect on the price, Nottingham Forest are also monitoring the situation.
Napoli are open to letting Lucca leave, likely on an expensive loan with a right to redeem, but they cannot sanction the departure without first securing a replacement to support Rasmus Hojlund.
