New Napoli boss Rafael Benitez has identified Torino winger Alessio Cerci as his first main transfer target of the summer.

The wide man received widespread praise for his displays with the Granata last season and as a result even earned a call up to Cesare Prandelli’s Italy squad.

Tuttosport believe that the Partenopei have already made contact with the player’s agent and must now speak with both Torino and Fiorentina, both of whom co-own the player.

The Viola are willing to sell their stake in the player and, despite claims to the contrary towards the end of the season, are now happy to see him go although Toro are desperate to keep him in Turin.

In a bid to sweeten the deal for Giampero Ventura’s side, Napoli would be willing to offer two attackers in exchange for bringing the ex-Roma youngster to the San Paolo.

The first striker they are willing to allow to leave is Eduardo Vargas and the other is January signing Emanuele Calaio.
