Bayer Leverkusen full-back Giulio Donati is reportedly a target for Serie A giants Napoli, Tuttosport has suggested.
It is no secret the Azzurri are in the market for a right-sided defender with both Christian Maggio and Giandomenico Mesto expected to leave at the end of the season.
Napoli have been heavily linked with a move for Matteo Darmian, but the latest reports suggest Giulio Donati is also on their hit list.
The 25-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen from Inter Milan in the summer of 2013 and he enjoyed a bright start to his career in Germany, making 23 Bundesliga appearances in his first season.
However, he has since fallen behind Roberto Hilbert in the pecking order and could, therefore, leave die Werkself in the summer transfer window.
The former Italy Under-21 international is still held in high regard by top sides from his homeland, with Napoli clearly leading the chase for his signature at the moment.
