In anticipation of a possible exit involving either Marko Rog or Amadou Diawara or even both during this transfer window, Napoli are in talks with Empoli over a move for Hamed Junior Traore according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Partenopei are ready to offer the Azzurri €12 million for the Ivorian’s signature but are not the only club understood to be courting him.
As per the report from the Milan based newspaper, Inter and Juventus are both also said to be keen on signing the 18-year-old central midfielder who is going through his breakthrough season at the Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Traore, who is under contract through to the end of the 2021/22 season, was promoted to the Empoli first team back in the Summer of 2017 and has since went on to make 27 appearances at first team level. 17 of those appearances have come this season where, in 984 minutes of action, he has contributed a single assist.
