Napoli are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Fiorentina captain German Pezzella for next season.

According to Calciomercato.com, the negotiations have already begun with the Argentina international centre-back’s agent.

Fiorentina certainly won’t be eager to let him go, as the 28-year-old is not only a key figure in their defence, but also wears the captain’s armband.

Pezzella is recovering after testing positive for coronavirus, one of several Viola players who caught the highly-contagious illness.
