The Serie A side lost star striker Gonzalo Higuain to bitter rivals Juventus in a £75million deal and are keen to use this cash to fill the void he left up front.
Mauro Icardi was apparently their first choice, but they failed to secure the Inter Milan captain’s signature despite Football Italia claiming they lodged a £53m proposal.

Napoli have had an approach to sign Harry Kane rejected by Tottenham
And according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli turned their attention to Kane, asking Spurs if they would be prepared to part with him, but were told to forget about it.
The Serie A side have signed Arkadiusz Milik from Ajax but are desperate to bring in a top-class replacement for Higuain.
Kane, 23, scored 28 goals in 50 games for Spurs last season and won the Premier League golden boot award last season.
Up next for Spurs is a tough home fixture against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at White Hart Lane (12.30pm).
