AC Milan and Napoli have approached Norwich City for Ben Godfrey.
Calciomercato.it says two of Italy's big guns are now keen.
And they state Godfrey's agent has already begun talks with one of them.
The reports says his representatives travelled to Milan last week for discussions over a dream move to the San Siro.
However, they will face a battle with Serie A rivals Napoli for his services.
They will launch a move for the star if they fail to land No1 target Gabriel from Lille.
Norwich have placed a £27m price tag on his head.
