According to Tuttosport, Napoli are refusing to buy Roberto Pereyra because it might help Juventus fund the Gonzalo Higuain bid.
The two clubs were in advanced negotiations for Pereyra at €18m and were just working out personal terms with the player.
However, over the last few days the talks seem to have ground to a halt.
Tuttosport claim this is because Napoli fear giving Juve €18m they can use towards Higuain.

Tuttosport claim this is because Napoli fear giving Juve €18m they can use towards Higuain.
Pipita has a release clause in his contract worth €94m and if someone pays that sum, they cannot stop the striker leaving.
Selling Pereyra for €18m would put Juve well on the way to amassing that transfer fund, having already pocketed €30m from Real Madrid for Alvaro Morata.
Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis will cross paths with Juventus director general Beppe Marotta at the Lega Serie A meeting tomorrow, so that is where the Higuain request is going to take place.
