Italy talent Simone Pafundi continues to struggle for playing time at club level and is therefore considering a departure from Udinese, as Napoli and Brighton are interested.
The creative midfielder is only 17 years old, but already has one senior cap for Italy, as well as impressing for the Azzurrini in the Under-20 World Cup, where he scored a sensational free kick.
Despite all of that, he has only nine Serie A appearances under his belt for a total 99 minutes of football and is getting frustrated with the lack of progress at Udinese.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Pafundi is giving serious thought to a move this summer.
Among the clubs linked with a possible swoop for the teenager are Napoli – where some of his relatives already live – and Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
