Napoli are a surprise contender for the signing of forgotten Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne this summer.
The Italian side are in the market for a new right back this transfer window and have made contact with Liverpool about signing the Englishman, according to a report from Goal's Reds correspondent Neil Jones.
Liverpool have put a £15m valuation on Clyne, with interest in him also coming from Premier League duo West Ham and Bournemouth - the right back where he spent the second half of the season on loan with the Cherries.
Serie A runners up Napoli have also been linked to another English right back - Tottenham Hotspur's Kieran Trippier.
However, Clyne is entering the final year of his contract with the Reds and is viewed by Napoli as a cheaper option than Trippier, who is likely to cost more than £25m.
Clyne started his career at his local side Crystal Palace, where he spent four years in the Championship before moving to the Premier League with Southampton.
The now 28-year-old flourished with the Saints, with his excellent form earning him a place in the England squad.
He was also a near ever-present in second season, appearing in 37 of 38 league games. However, injury problems saw him fall behind the likes of Trent-Alexander Arnold, Joe Gomez and James Milner in the pecking order at Liverpool, with the former in particular much more suited to Jurgen Klopp's attack-minded game.
Clyne joined Bournemouth until the end of the season in January, and made 15 appearances for the Cherries in all competitions.
