Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits he's spoken to Manchester United about Matteo Darmian.

Darmian has declared he wishes to return to Italy this summer - and De Laurentiis admits an attempt has already been made.

He declared: "It's true! I told you that we are on six profiles, there could also be (Benjamin) Henrichs of Bayer (Leverkusen)."

Darmian has announced he wishes to return to Italy this summer and also has held talks with Juventus and Inter Milan.

He said earlier this month: "My agent knows what I want. Juve, Inter or Napoli?

“It's not my role to answer that question, I'll move for the best solution and I'd consider all possibilities.

“One year ago, I was close to return to Italy but Mourinho and the club didn't want to sell me so nothing happened. An important proof of esteem, but I'm now looking for continuity."
