Serie A giants Napoli are interested in Fiorentina’s Cristiano Biraghi and they are working on a potential swap deal to land the left-back.

Biraghi’s agent has already all but confirmed that the player wants to seek an exit from La Viola, with Raffaele Palladino having excluded him from his plans at the club.

Corriere dello Sport, as relayed by TuttoNapoli have reported today that Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna likes Biraghi a lot and the full-back has expressed the need to play regular football, which is something Antonio Conte can offer at the Partenopei, having managed him for a season at Inter.

Manna is already working on a potential swap deal with Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade and it would involve Biraghi and Leonardo Spinazzola. The idea of both the clubs is to seal a move in January and they would want to make sure that it goes through as early as possible.
