Bologna attacker Simone Verdi is edging closer to joining Napoli.

A fee of €24m has been agreed between the two clubs.

Mediaset Premium says president Aurelio De Laurentiis personally struck a deal with his Bologna counterparts for Verdi.

However, the broadcaster warns the 24-year-old has yet to give his approval to the transfer.

Verdi is enjoying the best season of his career, scoring six goals and assisting five in only 20 appearances for the Rossoblu.
