Napoli are interested in Aston Villa attacker Nicolo Zaniolo.

The Italy international is on-loan at Villa this season from Galatasaray.

Sky Italia says Napoli are stepping up their interest in Zaniolo.

Napoli is working on bringing in Giovanni Manna from Juventus as the new sporting director.

If Manna joins, the chances for Zaniolo joining Napoli will increase.

Manna is said to be a big fan of Zaniolo - who has a contract until the summer of 2027 at Gala.
