Serie A side Napoli have already mapped out their next move in the January transfer window and the Corriere dello Sport newspapaer alleges that the Campani are set to open talks with Uruguayan outfit Nacional to sign midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro.
Napoli are expected to complete the signing of left-back Andrea Dossena from Liverpool shortly for a fee of around €5 million, and have also extended the contract of Uruguayan playmaker Walter Gargano after President Aurelio De Laurentiis travelled to Montevideo for discussions with his agent Pablo Betancur.
And De Laurentiis is now hoping that Betancur will intercede to persuade Nacional to release their prized asset Lodeiro as Napoli look to fend off competition from a host of Euroepan sides.
The likes of Juventus, Liverpool and Barcelona are allegedly tracking the 20-year-old and could start a bidding war next summer.
But Napoli are poised to get a head start on negotiations and will put a €5.5m offer on the table to take the Uruguayan under-20 star to the San Paolo this month.
Nacional are said to be holding out for €7m, but De Laurentiis wants to meet with his counterpart Ricardo Alarcon with the aim of reaching a compromise thanks to the mediation of Betancur.

All this focus on the Arsenal and Milan game should not take away from another cracker earlier tonight between Zenit and Benfica. The Russians came from a goal down to lead 2-1 in the closing minutes before Oscar Cardozo levelled things for Benfica, but it wasn't over there as Roman Shirokov won the game for Zenit in the 88th minute.
Here's the thoughts of Benfica coach Jorge Jesus, who felt his side deserved a point from the game.

Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny bemoaned his side's luck tonight but refused to give up. Here's some of his quotes:
"They were the better team on the night and that's the story of the day.
"We have to keep fighting, pick ourselves up, get the confidence back and challenge in the other competitions and in the second leg of this tie too.
"They punished us on every occasion; they scored some quality goals and they deserved to win."

Another Milan player who was willing to share his thoughts after the match was Mark van Bommel, who has urged caution ahead of the second leg in London.
“The score made it look like it was an easy game, but it certainly wasn't.
(Strange... it looked pretty easy from where I was sitting, but hey.)
“I do not think it's over yet. I remember a clash between Milan and Deportivo la Coruna when Milan was also ahead by four goals, and in the end Deportivo eliminated Milan.
“I went into the Arsenal dressing room after the match to speak to Robin van Persie. I had agreed with him to swap shirts – my sons are big fans of his and he brought two for them. They will be delighted.
Van Bommel went on to talk about a possible move to PSV in the future, but was quick to point out his terms for the move.
“I've spoken with PSV, but we don't have an agreement yet. The club has to decide what they want.
“If Louis van Gaal turns out to be the new coach, I won't go.”

Next up is the Milan maestro Clarence Seedorf. He only managed 12 minutes on the pitch, but watching from the sidelines he was delighted at how his team mates had dominated the game.
"Tonight everything went in the right direction and we did a very good match. You don't start a match thinking to win 4-0, but at the end i think we deserved it coz we played very well."
