With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia set to leave Napoli for Paris Saint-Germain, the Serie A giants are on the lookout for a replacement.

According to Sky Germany, both Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi and Bayern München's Mathys Tel are among the candidates being discussed.

The report claims that Napoli have already opened talks for Lille's Edon Zhegrova, but with the French Ligue 1 side seemingly blocking the transfer, they could turn their attention to one of their other targets.

Adeyemi was linked with a move to Juventus during the summer transfer window, but ultimately stayed put and has endured an injury-plagued campaign with Borussia Dortmund.

As for Tel, recent reports have suggested that Bayern could include the Frenchman in a swap deal to bring Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku to the Säbener Strasse.

However, Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund recently played down the speculation, saying there are no plans to offload Tel this month.
