This latest report confirms Napoli have reached an agreement with Sevilla and the player, but are yet to finalise the deal, leaving room for Wolves to enter negotiations for the 21-year-old.

Napoli see Juanlu Sanchez as the ideal back-up for captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the right-back position.

However, the Partenopei have currently prioritised the pursuit of a winger and a central midfielder, so they have opened talks with Girona for Miguel Gutierrez and Juventus for Fabio Miretti.

Napoli have already completed six signings this summer: Kevin De Bruyne, Lorenzo Lucca, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Sam Beukema, Noa Lang and Luca Marianucci.
