Napoli are prepared to offer Atalanta €25 million for Dejan Kulusevski in an attempt to beat the competition according to a report in today’s print edition of La Repubblica.

Napoli president and owner Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to bring the 19-year-old hot prospect to the club in January although other reports in the media have stated that Atalanta want €40 million for the Swedish international, who has also drawn strong links to Inter.

Any club wanting to sign him in January also has to convince Parma into cancelling his season long loan deal with them, six months ahead of schedule, something that seems an impossible task given the comments of several Parma directors.

This season Kulusevski has exploded onto the scene whilst on loan at Parma, who he has made 19 appearances for across all competitions. In 1546 minutes on the field, the youngster has scored four goals and given seven assists for teammates.
