Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has fielded fresh takeover interest.
Cronache di Napoli reports De Laurentiis has been contacted by representatives of a Qatari-based consortium about opening talks over the sale of Napoli.
Early indications are that the Middle East group are willing to offer €400 million to buy the Serie A giants from De Laurentiis.
Those close to Napoli are urging De Laurentiis to accept the offer, convinced the Scudetto will remain out of reach while the movie mogul stays in control.
De Laurentiis has come under increasing pressure this season as Napoli have struggled for results and failed in their Champions League qualifier last month.
