to the club, and official talks have now taken place.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis was in London yesterday on film business.

Benitez had an unhappy six-month stint at Inter Milan in 2010 but has recently spoken of his desire to return to Serie A.

Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni said: "Benitez has won a great deal and can be an excellent choice as he has the experience and the ability."
