Napoli are hopeful of completing the signing of Tottenham's Kieran Trippier for €25million (£22m) after the Champions League Final.
The Serie A runners-up are the only club interested in the 28-year-old England right-back, who stands to significantly increase his current £50,000-per-week wages in Naples.
Tottenham have delayed all transfer talks until after the Final on June 1 and Napoli remain wary of discussing the finer details with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who drives a notoriously hard bargain.
However, there is optimistic from all sides that Trippier will be the first England international to play in Italy since Joe Hart in 2016-17.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino expects an overhaul of the squad this summer and Trippier, who has endured a difficult season after starring at last summer's World Cup, could be the first of several high-profile departures.
Pochettino faces a big decision over whether to start him against Liverpool in Madrid, in what is likely to be his final game for the club. The former Burnley defender was at fault for both Ajax goals in Tottenham's unforgettable semi-final win Amsterdam but redeemed himself with an impressive second-half performance.
Spurs' other right-back, Serge Aurier, has recovered from a hamstring problem but has not played since the last-16 win in Dortmund in early April.
