TMW says Napoli have learned it will take around €20m to sign the Switzerland international, 20, over the New Year.
Manzambi's agent, Ishmael Miller, said just last week: "Of course, my phone rings constantly, but the boy wants to stay calm, finish the season at Freiburg, play for Switzerland, and then we'll see.
"Plan A remains continuity with Freiburg in the Bundesliga, but we all know football; if a significant offer comes in, I'd be the first to consider it."
