Asmir Begovic StokeNapoli are set to battle it out with Atletico Madrid for the signing of Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic next summer.

With the Premier League club acquiring young England prospect Jack Butland from Birmingham City they may be willing to cash in on the 26-year-old who has also been a target for Manchester United and Arsenal in the past.

Despite a positive start to his career in Italy, Azzurri keeper Pepe Reina is widely rumoured to be heading to Barcelona when his loan from Liverpool ends at the end of the season and Victor Valdes set to leave the Blaugrana.

However, with Mundo Deportivo reporting that Thibaut Courtois will also depart Madrid and return to parent club Chelsea, the Partenopei will face stiff compeition from the La Liga club.

Last season the Bosnian was ever-present in the Stoke goal as he was awarded with the fans player of the season award.
