Napoli are interested in signing Torino's Daniele Baselli after the midfielder's agent said a contract extension would be "difficult".





The 25-year-old was one of Torino's most impressive performers during the 2016-17 season, alongside Andrea Belotti, scoring six goals and adding five assists in 37 Serie A appearances as the club finished ninth.

Napoli are said to be interested in Baselli, who joined Torino in a £6m move from Atalanta in 2015, and the former Italy Under-21 international's agent says he is uncertain whether a contract renewal will materialise.





“We’ll see about a renewal, but it’d be very difficult,” agent Beppe Riso told Sky Sport Italia, as quoted by ​Football-Italia.





Napoli are reportedly eager to add Baselli to their current roster of central midfielders, which includes players such as Marek Hamsik, Jorginho and Allan.

Baselli's contract runs until June 2019 and offers from Napoli have so far been rejected by Torino, but they could reconsider their position should another transfer offer be submitted.





Torino are yet to sign any players this summer and are unlikely to make a move for Joe Hart, the Manchester City and England goalkeeper who spent the 2016-17 season on loan at the Serie A side, experiencing a mixed campaign between the sticks.
