Napoli eye Bartra option

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are considering Barcelona's Marc Bartra as a possible alternative should Davide Astori not join them after all.

While the Cagliari defender still seems most likely to join the Partenopei, the continued delays are prompting the club to consider alternatives.

With Torino's Nikola Maksimovic set at an expensive €15m, Napoli are considering other options.

According to Tuttosport, the Blaugrana's Bartra is now the hottest name on the list, but the club is waiting for the presidential elections in Barcelona to find out who they will be dealing with.
