Italian champions Napoli are aware that Jhon Duran could be open to leaving Aston Villa in the summer transfer window and his likely asking price.
Villa signed the Colombian striker in January last year but he has failed to carve out a niche for himself in the Midlands so far and was linked with an exit earlier this year.
The 20-year-old has made 14 Premier League appearances from the bench this season and is yet to start a league game for Aston Villa.
He was again an unused substitute in their 4-0 home defeat against Tottenham and it has been claimed that he could leave Villa in the summer transfer window.
According to Italian outlet AreaNapoli, Serie A giants Napoli have kept themselves informed about the striker’s situation.
They were keeping tabs on Duran through their scouts even before he joined Villa last year.
Intermediaries in Italy have kept Napoli abreast of his situation at Villa Park and they are aware that the forward could leave.
Aston Villa are claimed to have made clear they would demand €30m to €40m before agreeing to sell him.
It remains to be seen whether Napoli are likely to spend such levels of money on an unproven talent such as Duran.
