Napoli are keen to make an offer for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele, but must first make space in their squad before any talks can take place.
Partenopei coach Maurizio Sarri is keen to add the Belgian to his list of playing options, though the Serie A side will need to lower their existing wage bill if they wish to make anymore signings.
According to Sportitalia, the rapports between Napoli and Spurs is good, after the two clubs came to an agreement for Vlad Chiriches, who moved from London to Naples earlier this summer.
However, the story goes on to suggest that Azzurri owner Aurelio De Laurentiis is keen to offload some expensive dead wood, with the likes of Jonathan De Guzman, Juan Camilo Zuniga and Kalidou Koulibaly all up for sale.
Belgium international Dembele has been at White Hart Line since 2012, and has made 85 league appearances for the club.
