Napoli could reportedly be set for a summer clear-out as Rafa Benitez, Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon may be on the way out.

The Partenopei were knocked out of the Europa League by Dnipro last Thursday at the semi-final stage and now face an uphill struggle to achieve Champions League qualification.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that club President Aurelio De Laurentiis had lunch with the team on Saturday and promised them a large bonus if they achieve their top three target.

La Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that club President Aurelio De Laurentiis had lunch with the team on Saturday and promised them a large bonus if they achieve their top three target.

However, the future of Coach Rafa Benitez looks very insecure regardless and he is believed to be the first casualty of the summer transfer window.

Benitez’s agent Manuel Garcia Quillon has reportedly recommended Sevilla boss Unai Emery to Napoli, but Sinisa Mihajlovic remains the heavy favourite to come in.

Sporting director Riccardo Bigon is reportedly also on the way out and could leave with a mutual termination of his contract.

Although the Vesuviani are keen to keep striker Gonzalo Higuain, the Argentine is believed to want a move and could be tempted by an Atletico Madrid switch along with Jose Callejon.
