Napoli are reportedly targeting Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez for a summer move.
The Reds broke their transfer record to sign Nunez from Benfica for £85million in 2022 but he is ready to leave Anfield after a lack of starting opportunities under Arne Slot.
The 25-year-old scored seven times last season as Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League title and he is contracted until 2028.
Saudi side Al-Nassr previously made enquiries to sign the Uruguay international in January and were prepared to offer £70m but Liverpool were unwilling to listen at that stage as their focus was on winning the league title.
The Italian champions are now pushing for his signature as they look to become less reliant on Romelu Lukaku, and have made contact with the striker, according to Football Italia.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is looking to strenghthen his Napoli side as they look to retain the league next season and compete in the latter stages of the Champions League.

The Naples outfit have also reportedly identified Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund or Udinese forward Lorenzo Lucca as alternatives.
Hojlund's contract also does not expire until June 2028 with an option for a further year but his Old Trafford appears uncertain.
The Dane cost United £64m plus a further £8m in potential add-ons when he made the move from Atalanta in August 2023.
However, he has struggled to live up to that price-tag, managing just four goals in 32 Premier League games last season.
Speaking after Denmark's 2-1 friendly victory over Northern Ireland on Saturday night, he told TV 2 Sport: 'I have a contract [until 2028], so I expect to play for Manchester United.
'I'm looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I'm fully dedicated to the project that's underway.
'I know I can't get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United.
'I expect to play there, so I'm just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season.'
Ruben Amorim's side are in the market for a new striker and will listen to suitable offers for Hojlund.
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is also being hunted by Napoli.
The 25-year-old joined Chelsea's academy in 2007 and made his international debut on Tuesday night as England fell to a 3-1 defeat to Senegal.
Chelsea slapped a £40million price tag on Chalobah in January, having valued him at £25m last summer.
Asked about his future, Chalobah, who has also played for Ipswich, Huddersfield, and Lorient, said: 'For me, I just have to focus on the now, leave all the noise out there that is surrounding me and my future.
Napoli are also closing in on a two-year deal for Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian will fly to Naples on Thursday for his medical and to take the formal steps needed to confirm his move from Manchester City.
De Bruyne is leaving the Etihad Stadium after 10 years of legendary service, with his contract up on June 30.
