Napoli have begun intensive negotiations with Celta Vigo for Slovakian midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, according to reports.
Sportitalia maintain talks stepped up several degrees on Friday evening after Le10Sport reports from France.
The 23-year-old has two goals in seven senior caps for Slovakia and is therefore a teammate of Napoli captain Marek Hamsik.
He could effectively end up replacing Hamsik, who is interested in a move to China.
Celta Vigo bought Lobotka from Nordsjaelland last summer for €5m and his value has increased rapidly.

There is a release clause in his contract, but the Partenopei would hope to negotiate a lower fee.
Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested.
