Napoli have reportedly convinced Luciano Spalletti, who seems set to succeed Gennaro Gattuso at the Stadio Diego Maradona.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports patron Aurelio De Laurentiis has chosen the former Inter and Roma tactician as the new head coach for the Partenopei.
Former Milan coach Gattuso seems set to leave the Azzurri, even if he should bring Champions League football back to Naples.
The newspaper claims Spalletti has been in continuous talks with De Laurentiis about the roles to be reinforced in the squad.
The two parties have not reached an agreement on the financial terms of the deal, as Spalletti has asked for €4m and Napoli have offered €2.5m plus bonuses.
But the report claims the deal can be closed at €3m a season and that Spalletti is close to joining the Partenopei ahead of 2021-22.
