Napoli remain in the hunt for Real Madrid fullback Alvaro Arbeloa.
The veteran was overlooked for Saturday's victory over Barcelona and that has encouraged Napoli in their pursuit.
Corriere dello Sport says Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is driving their bid for Arbeloa, having worked with the former Spain international at Liverpool.
However, everything will hinge on Real coach Carlo Ancelotti and whether he feels they can do without the defender in the second-half of the season.
