His contract with Hoffenheim is due to expire in June 2018 and last season he made 20 Bundesliga appearances, contributing one goal and one assist.

Napoli may well have an advantage, as they had already shown interest in Toljan last summer and Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system makes good use of full-backs.
