Napoli and Sassuolo are chasing Estudiantes striker Duvan Zapata.
Zapata has seen a move to QPR fall through in recent days.
"At this moment it all rests in the hands of the Estudiantes President," intermediary Marcelo Ferreyra told TMW.
"He is currently in Rome for talks with Napoli and we hope to find a breakthrough soon. Sassuolo are also in the running, so we'll have to see what happens from these meetings."
