The agent of Napoli defender Giovanni Di Lorenzo has confirmed interest from Atletico Madrid.

Di Lorenzo is being considered by Atletico as a replacement for Manchester United target Kieran Trippier.

Mario Giuffredi told Radio Marte: "Atlético de Madrid has always liked Lorenzo, I also talked about him in the past with (Andrea) Berta, the current sports director of the Spanish club.

"At the moment, however, there are no advanced negotiations.

"He will rejoin Luciano Spalletti's group between the end of July and August 1."
