Napoli sound out Torino for Cacciamani; Varela also on the list
Torino reportedly rejected a 12-million bid from Roma and now want more than 20 million; Monza value Gustavo Varela at 25 to 30 million.
Napoli have made contact with Torino over Alessio Cacciamani, the 19-year-old left winger who came through the club's academy. According to Corriere dello Sport, President De Laurentiis has personally got involved with Cairo. Torino turned down an offer of around 12 million from Roma and now want more than 20 million.
Cacciamani has started 11 of 12 games across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, with a goal and an assist. Napoli's real dream, though, is Gustavo Varela, Serie A's top scorer with 9 league goals and 11 in 11 matches in all competitions. Monza value him at 25 to 30 million, and his former club Benfica holds a resale clause and the right to match offers.
Monza's CEO, Mauro Baldissoni, spoke at the Social Football Summit in Turin: they want to keep him until the end of the season, there are no real talks yet, and the market is moving fast.
