Napoli hopes to make a big impression in the summer transfer market as Jack Grealish is at the top of their wish list as The Sun reported.
Reportedly inclining toward a move for the Serie A team, the Manchester City star has a £45 million transfer budget.
Why Napoli prefer Grealish to Garnacho?
Although the Azzurri is also considering Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United have slapped a whopping £70 million price tag on the 20-year-old winger.
The Serie A champions’ budget would be blasted by that asking price, thus eliminating any conceivable move for the Argentine player.

Grealish, though, is said to be up for £45 million, which seems right in line with the Italian heavyweights’ strategy.
What’s appealing in the signing?
The 29-year-old might rejoin with his erstwhile City colleague Kevin De Bruyne.
At the Etihad, the pair developed great chemistry, and the four-time League title holders think reviving that bond might increase their offensive punch.

The Birmingham-born winger’s future with Pep Guardiola’s side seems questionable after being left off their squad for both the Premier League finale and the Club World Cup.
What next for Napoli in the transfer window?
Antonio Conte’s team won’t go after either of these guys. It’s a one-or-the-other choice.
Their attention is still on getting a prominent signing under budget that can immediately affect.
Everything points to Grealish as their top target; should a deal be signed, it would indicate a new beginning for the England international in Serie A.
