Napoli are waiting for the green light from Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho to sign Matteo Darmian.

On Sunday, Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis announced Darmian was a loan target and talks had been held.

And Il Mattino reports holding up the deal now is Mourinho.

The United manager has acknowledged Darmian's wishes to leave, but he is yet to approve the move to Napoli.

Along with Darmian, Napoli are also interested in Atletico Madrid defender Sime Vrsaljko.
