Italian Serie A outfit Napoli are closing in on acquiring the services of free-agent striker Fernando Llorente, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Naples-based club are in the market to sign a striker in order to strengthen their attacking force for the 2019-20 season and have identified the 34-year-old as a perfect fit.
It is believed that the deal is pretty close to completion and the former Juventus striker should join Napoli before the end of the transfer window.
Llorente is a free-agent after his contract with English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur came to an end on July 1.
