Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain is reportedly wanted by Liverpool and Chelsea
Both Chelsea and Liverpool are said to be interested in signing Argentina international Higuain.
Napoli say they won't sell unless a suitor meets their frontman's £74million (€94m) release clause, although reports claim he could be available for less.
Last week the 28-year-old said he would resolve his future after playing in the Copa America.

Chelsea target Gonzalo Higuain in action
Liverpool emerged as suitors of Higuain last week with TV channel BeIn Sports claiming a deal was in the pipeline.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is thought to be eyeing forward recruits, with Mario Balotelli and Christian Benteke up for sale this summer.
Klopp was even reportedly spotted with Higuain's brother and agent watching Argentina at the Copa America.
But Chelsea remain in the running to sign Higuain as a possible replacement for Diego Costa if the Spain international is sold to Atletico Madrid this summer.
Express Sport understands incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte has already discussed transfer options with his new bosses, with Higuain and Everton's Romelu Lukaku candidates to succeed Costa.
