Napoli have entered talks to sign Mainz striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to French outlet L’equipe.

The French newspaper states that the Partenopei have been in talks with the German outfit regarding a potential deal since last week.

According to the report, Napoli have stepped up their efforts to sign the player in recent hours by offering €20m plus winger Amin Younes in exchange for Mateta.
