Napoli have made an attempt for Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina.

The youngster is on-loan at Juve from Olympique Marseille this season and the Bianconeri are keen to sign him permanently.

Tuttosport says Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has made an attempt for Lemina, offering him a bigger contract than what he's on at Juve.

But Lemina has refused to bite, believing he can win more titles with Juve.

Juve are now ready to buy the 22 year-old outright this summer.
