Napoli have set their sights on Rayo Vallecano's creative midfielder Michu, according to reports in Spain.
The 26-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool, has scored 15 goals this season.
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, Napoli are planning to perform a smash-and—grab £10m raid for the La Liga star.
Michu, real name Miguel Pérez Cuesta, joined Rayo Vallecano last summer after his contract at Celta Vigo had expired.
