Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is chasing Barcelona midfielder Alex Song.
Sportmediaset says Benitez has ended his interest in Tottenham midfielder Etienne Capoue and switched attention to Song.
Barca will not sell Song on the cheap, though Napoli are encouraged that there is room for negotiations.
Song is not a first-choice player for Barca coach Tata Martino, offering Napoli hope that a deal can be done.
