Jack Grealish could potentially become the latest high-profile player to depart the Premier League for Italy.
Exclusive reports suggest that Napoli, who lead Serie A, are keeping a close eye on the England and Manchester City star amidst growing questions regarding his status at the club.
It is believed that Napoli manager Antonio Conte is a significant admirer of the skillful winger, especially considering Grealish has had limited opportunities at City this season.
His position within Pep Guardiola`s plans for a significant summer overhaul at the Etihad Stadium is also reportedly uncertain.
Conte, having observed Grealish`s talent first-hand during his coaching spell in England, reportedly views the former Aston Villa player as a potential key signing for the Italian club.
He is thought to believe that Grealish could play a crucial role in helping his team progress and potentially contend in the Champions League next season.
Sources close to Grealish indicate that the player is receptive to the idea of leaving and sees a potential move as a way to revitalize his career and enhance his prospects for the England national team.
Moving abroad is reportedly Grealish`s preferred choice over remaining in the Premier League.
While Tottenham and his former club Aston Villa have been linked in the past, City are understood to be reluctant to sell a player who can be formidable when in peak form to a direct domestic rival.
However, Napoli is unlikely to be the sole club vying for Grealish`s signature.
German giants Dortmund have also reportedly been linked with the player, and Napoli`s Serie A competitors AC Milan are also rumoured admirers.
Clubs in the United States and Saudi Arabia are monitoring the situation, but Grealish is reportedly determined to continue playing at the top level in Europe and secure a regular spot in the England squad.
