Young attacker Rogelio Gabriel Funes Mori could be on his way out of Argentinian giants River Plate as Europa League hopefuls Napoli have shown an interest in signing the 19-year-old forward, according to a report in La Mattina.
Napoli are set to part company with German Denis, who appears to be on his way to Udinese, and the Partenopei are eager to sign a replacement ahead of the start of the new season.
They have been linked with players such as Marcelo Zalayeta and Cristiano Lucarelli in the past couple of weeks, but club president Aurelio de Laurentiis would prefer to sign a younger attacker and has set his sights on Funes Mori.
Funes Mori was born in Argentina, but moved to America at the age of 10. He joined FC Dallas after winning the reality show 'Sueno MLS' and eventually moved to River Plate to kick-start his professional career.
The tricky forward is seen as one of the most promising youngsters around in Argentina and has been linked with a move to Europe more than once. Juventus and Fiorentina are also believed to be keeping tabs on Funes Mori.
