According to La Nazione, this could see sporting director Pantaleo Corvino move for Pavoletti, who has found little playing time with the Partenopei since a January transfer from Genoa.

The 28-year-old has made just two Serie A starts in Naples, with the form of Dries Mertens and the return to fitness of Arkadiusz Milik limiting his appearances under Coach Maurizio Sarri.
