The 22-year-old is seen as the ideal replacement for Jorginho, who is in advanced negotiations for a transfer to Manchester City.
According to Sky Sport Italia, La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportitalia, Napoli have decided to press on for Fabian Ruiz.
He has a release clause worth €30m, but the Partenopei will try to negotiate it down with added bonuses.

Talks are intensifying with his representatives to agree personal terms.
Ruiz has five caps and two goals for Spain at Under-21 level, having turned 22 only in April.
This season, he found the net three times with six assists in 34 La Liga appearances for Betis.
Meanwhile, Sportitalia are separate from the rest of the pack, insisting it is Jean Michael Seri’s agent who is trying to make his move to Napoli happen rather than any particular priority for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
