Antonio Conte wants Napoli to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United after Scott McTominay’s successful start, according to reports.
Zirkzee only arrived at Old Trafford in July, joining from Bologna in a deal worth £36.5m, but there is already speculation over his future at United.
Juventus have been linked with Zirkzee and he has now attracted interest from another Italian club as Napoli consider a move for the Dutchman.
According to Italian outlet Il Mattino, Conte has given the ‘green light’ for Napoli to enter the race to sign Zirkzee from United.
They add that Zirkzee himself would be interested in a return to Serie A in the upcoming January transfer window.
Conte has long been a fan of Zirkzee and wanted to sign him at Napoli this summer before he ended up at United instead.
Zirkzee remains a target for Napoli, though, who are particularly keen on signing a second United player after McTominay’s glowing start in Naples.
