Napoli are looking to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s want-away center-back, Mamadou Sakho, whilst also targeted another Frenchman in Porto’s Eliaquim Mangala.
Partenopei coach Rafael Benitez has set his sights on Sakho, who has been agitating for a move away from the capital club since the arrival of Marquinhos from Roma, as well as the presence of Thiago Silva and Alex as the first-choice center-back pairing.
Il Mattino reports that Sakho has been valued at €20 million, and so Napoli will attempt to get him on loan, but if Napoli fail to land the PSG defender Mangala is their preferred alternative.
Benitez has already boosted his defense by bringing in Raul Albiol from Real Madrid but following the deal which saw Alessandro Gamberini leave for Genoa on loan, the Spaniard feels he needs defensive reinforcements.
