Giuseppe Rossi’s agent admits a move to Napoli in January is “possible, as we were very close to them in the past,” but Miroslav Klose is on stand-by.
The former Fiorentina, Villarreal and Levante striker made the move to Celta Vigo this summer and has scored two goals in six games.
Napoli are seeking a centre-forward in January, as Arkadiusz Milik has been ruled out for four to six months by a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Agent Federico Pastorello was speaking to Rai Sport last night about Napoli interest in Rossi.

Napoli are seeking a centre-forward in January, as Arkadiusz Milik has been ruled out for four to six months by a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Agent Federico Pastorello was speaking to Rai Sport last night about Napoli interest in Rossi.
“Anything is possible,” he replied. “(President Aurelio) De Laurentiis always liked him a great deal and we’ve talked about it a lot in the past.
“We were very close to them a few years ago.”
However, Radio Kiss Kiss suggest Napoli were burned by Rossi rejecting the transfer to Napoli and are therefore unwilling to bet on him now.
Another option is free agent and former Lazio hitman Klose.
It’s believed Napoli will give Manolo Gabbiadini a couple of games to see how he performs before moving forward to sign another striker.
Rai Sport claim the Partenopei are in contact with Klose’s agent, telling the German to wait until after the matches against Roma and Benfica before deciding whether to proceed.
