Napoli keen on Geronimo Rulli

Serie A leaders Napoli are hot on the trail of Real Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, according to La Repubblica.

The Azzurri were reportedly offered a chance to sign Genoa starlet Mattia Perin, but they eventually declined the opportunity.

The main reason behind the decision was their preference for Geronimo Rulli, who has largely impressed defending the colours of Real Sociedad.

With Pepe Reina likely to leave at the end of the season, Napoli need a new number one and the Argentine appears to be top of their wish list.

Sitting one point clear of holders Juventus in the league standings, the Azzurri are priced at 11/10 to lift the Serie A trophy.
