Italian football club Napoli could make a bid for Santos and Brazil international midfielder Lucas Lima during the European winter transfer window, the player's agent said.
"Napoli are interested. At this stage that's all I can say," Lima's agent Edson Khodor was quoted as saying by Xinhua on Tuesday.
According to media reports in Brazil, Santos are seeking 20 million euros for the 25-year-old.
It is understood Santos have already rejected a 13 million euro offer from Portuguese club Porto for the playmaker.
Lima has been capped for Brazil six times since making his international debut in September.
