Walace SilvaNapoli have been told to offer €5 million for Gremio youngster Walace Silva, after the club’s chief scouts monitored the Brazilian earlier this season.

The 19-year-old has made a number of impressive performances for the senior team since progressing through the club’s youth academy.

According to Il Roma, Napoli scouts have watched the promising defensive midfielder on multiple occasions in Brazil, but are bewildered by the high asking price of €5 million.

Nevertheless, reports suggest the Partenopei are still hopeful of securing a deal in January, but may have to wait until the end of the season if the two sides cannot come to an agreement.

Walace Silva has made 17 appearances in all competitions in the Brasileiro Serie A this campaign.
