Chievo Verona are chasing Melbourne City midfielder Alessandro Venezia.

The former Napoli and FC Cluj midfielder's form has attracted the attention of Chievo sports chief Luca Nember, who is already in contact with the player's camp.

Chievo have tabled a deal to the end of this season, with the option for another two years to Venezia, says TMW.

The midfielder's current City deal expires on December 31 and he so far has refused attempts from the Australian club to discuss new terms.

Venezia is considering Chievo's proposal this week.
