Atletico Madrid have reportedly pounced on the increasingly tense situation between Gonzalo Higuain and Napoli.
The striker was substituted at half-time in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat to Juventus, but by all accounts did not have an injury problem.
Coach Rafa Benitez is widely expected to leave, while the Partenopei are highly unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Atletico Madrid are eyeing the situation with interest and preparing an offer.
Higuain is the first choice for tactician Diego Simeone to replace departing Mario Mandzukic.
Arsenal and Liverpool have also repeatedly been linked with a bid for ‘Pipita.’
He has been increasingly irritable in recent months, shouting at teammates on the pitch, getting jeered by fans and engaging in an ugly row with Parma goalkeeper Antonio Mirante.
