Napoli is set to go toe-to-toe with Real Madrid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
The Italian outfit, who finished runners-up to Juventus in Serie A, are resigned to the fact that £50m man Edinson Cavani will leave the club.
But their new manager Rafa Benitez - the ex-Liverpool boss - wants to raid Anfield for his replacement.
Suarez has admitted he would be interested in a move away from England because of the unfair treatment he claims he's getting from the British press.
He's gone on record as saying a move to Real Madrid is "one of the highest ambitions for any footballer" and it appeared they were the only real option for the Uruguayan.
But Napoli has emerged from nowhere and their interest could even bump up the price Real have to pay, if Liverpool does decide to sell.
Manchester City and Chelsea were both interested in Cavani but Madrid are the front-runners to sign him.
However, that won't mean their transfer business is done.
They're flogging Gonzalo Higuain to Arsenal and a move for Gareth Bale is still in the balance.
