Having secured Alberto Grassi from Atalanta, Napoli are now stepping up their bid for Empoli defender Federico Barba.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sky Sport Italia and more sources, a meeting between the clubs on Monday will mark a large increase in the original proposal of €4m including bonuses.
The 22-year-old centre-back grew up in the Roma youth academy and the Giallorossi will receive half of any transfer fee Empoli get.

Maurizio Sarri naturally knows Barba well, having worked with him at Empoli, and he’d reunite with former Tuscan teammates Elseid Hysaj and Mirko Valdifiori.
Barba would be the only left-footed defender in the Napoli squad if he came along.
