Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing Napoli’s Dries Mertens, as Paco Alcacer struggles for fitness, reports Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Spanish striker has only started seven games for Dortmund this season, as he continues to struggle to gain full fitness.
This has led the German side to look at signing Mertens in January.
As for Mertens, his contract expires next June, with reports of an extension yet to be decided.

Di Marzio states the Belgian hopes to remain in Naples, but an offer from the German side may be too good to refuse.
It is thought Mertens wouldn’t play for another Serie A club out of respect for Napoli, who signed him from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2013, and that the Bundesliga outfit might be the ideal solution.
Inter have long been linked with a swoop for 'Ciro' Mertens.
