Napoli have a list of potential replacements for Gonzalo Higuain, including Islam Slimani, Carlos Bacca, Mauro Icardi, Simone Zaza and Alvaro Morata.
The Partenopei are forced to contend with the possibility of losing their star striker after he set a new all-time Serie A record of 36 goals in 35 games.
His release clause is €94m, so that provides them with plenty of money to find a suitable heir.

His release clause is €94m, so that provides them with plenty of money to find a suitable heir.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the latest candidate is Slimani of Sporting CP.
The Algeria international recently turned 28 and scored 27 goals in 33 Liga NOS games last season, 31 in 46 competitive appearances.
Slimani is highly sought-after with interest from Everton, Wolfsburg and Leicester City.
Another option that is perhaps closer than expected is Bacca, as Milan do not consider him part of their plans under new Coach Vincenzo Montella and want a €30m sale to fund fresh buys.
Bacca turned down a move to West Ham United and confirmed today he wants to play in the Champions League, so Napoli would fit the bill.
Inter reiterated they will not sell Icardi and certainly not to another Serie A club challenging for the Scudetto.
Juventus, on the other hand, would be happy to hand over Zaza, especially if it meant lowering the €94m cash asking price for Higuain.
It’s reported Maurizio Sarri has already given his blessing to Zaza as an objective for Napoli.
Another intriguing option would be to snap up the man who got away from Juventus, specifically Morata.
However, getting their hands on the Real Madrid striker would practically wipe out the entire €94m transfer kitty from a Higuain sale.
The Merengues have turned down offers from Chelsea in the region of €60m.
