Napoli are already looking towards the summer transfer window and they are planning for the long term with interest in Norwegian starlets Erling Braut Haaland and Sander Berge.

Haaland is a 19-year-old striker who plays for Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg whereas Berge is a 21-year-old defensive midfielder at Belgian club Genk and both players have played against the Partenopei in their respective Champions League Group E fixtures.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been in contact with his Belgian counterpart Peter Croonen for Berge and the Ciucciarelli are prepared to pay €20 million for the Norwegian midfielder.

The Partenopei are likely to enter a bidding war with Juventus and other European giants for Haaland and they are prepared to offer €40m for the Salzburg attacker.

Haaland and Berge have both been capped by Norway at senior level but the 19-year-old first earned worldwide attention for scoring an incredible nine goals in a FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
