Napoli's interest in Bayern Munich fullback Sebastian Rudy has been confirmed.

A member of Rudy's camp admits he welcomes the Napoli talk.

"The only thing we can say is that he has a special relationship with (Carlo) Ancelotti, he appreciates him, likes Napoli and vice versa," the insider was quoted as saying by CalcioNapoli24.

“Now he's focused on the World Cup, but we'll see what happens when he returns from Russia."

The 28-year-old made 35 appearances for Bayern in 2017-18.
