Valdifiori already expressed his joy at the idea of playing for Napoli and reuniting with Sarri.

However, Sport Italia also suggest his agent is putting the brakes on the deal because he is unhappy with a particular clause.

Torino are also strongly interested in signing Valdifiori.

Now 29, the midfielder in the Andrea Pirlo mould made his Italy debut in March.

He spent most of his career in the lower leagues with Cesena, Pavia and Legnano before joining Empoli in July 2008.
