  • Napoli are looking into the possibility of signing either Keylor Navas or Kepa Arrizabalaga as first-choice goalkeepers
  • Navas is set to play a limited number of games under the new PSG coach, with former AC Milan shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma expected to start ahead of him
  • Kepa, meanwhile, has struggled for game time ever since Edouard Mendy joined Chelsea from Rennes

Serie A giants Napoli are hunting for a new goalkeeper, with Paris Saint-Germain's Keylor Navas emerging as a possible candidate.

Previous reports have indicated that the recently-appointed PSG head coach Christophe Galtier has decided to choose Gianluigi Donnarumma as his preferred number one. The decision has definitely rubbed Navas the wrong way who could choose to leave Paris this summer.

Marca reports that Napoli are heavily interested in signing the Costa Rican, but his high wages will be a huge hindrance in negotiations. Navas is one of the best-paid players at PSG, but Napoli fear that they do not have the same financial muscle.

The 35-year-old has been with PSG for three seasons after joining them from Real Madrid. He will also be looking to keep fit ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, where he will lead his nation in Group E, where they are pitted against Germany, Spain and Japan.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is also a potential option for Napoli

The Daily Mail additionally reports that Napoli could look into Chelsea's second-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Kepa is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world, but questionable performances saw him play second to Edouard Mendy.

The Spanish goalkeeper could look to move elsewhere to make it to Luis Enrique's squad for the World Cup. Chelsea could allow the 27-year-old to leave should they complete the signing of prodigy Gabriel Slonina from Chicago Fire.

In the video, there is also a lot of pushing and shoving after an unidentified third party steps in to try and calm the situation.

The Serie A side is currently in Austria for pre-season training as they ramp up their efforts to be ready for the upcoming season.
