Empoli’s Federico Barba is reportedly close to Napoli, but they have approached Sampdoria for Vasco Regini and Real Madrid for Nacho Fernandez anyway.
Defensive reinforcements have been top of the Partenopei’s priorities during the January window and Barba is believed to be set for a move south.
RAI reports today that the Vesuviani made an enquiry to Samp for the loan of Regini, but were rejected by President Massimo Ferrero as they don’t want a temporary sale.

As for Nacho, Napoli are reportedly willing to raise the sum of his obligation to buy clause, which would ensure they sign the Madrid man permanently in June.
An intermediary is believed to be in talks with the Bernabeu outfit about the move, but coach Zinedine Zidane is proving to be an obstacle as he doesn’t want the defender to leave.
