Genoa president Enrico Preziosi says he's prepared to sell Francesco Modesto to Napoli - but only for the right price.

Mesto is a January target for Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis.

Preziosi said: "Will Francesco Modesto go to Napoli? The rapport with Aurelio De Laurentiis is excellent and goes beyond football. It's a shame that in three years of Serie A we have never been able to collaborate.

"However, Modesto is a very important player for us and clearly I would not release him lightly. Having said that, there could be a deal between the two clubs.

"If someone were to ask me for Hernan Crespo, then I would definitely say no. Hernan is a great centre-forward and also in that role the only other player we have is Sergio Floccari.

"We mustn't forget that Genoa are still competing on the international stage and so until our future in the competition is decided, we cannot say anything about the transfer market."
