The players agent has revealed the Inter Milan and Chelsea target is close to completing a move to Napoli, with the two clubs reaching an agreement.

Napoli have reached an agreement with Lazio for Antonio Candreva and the player is keen to move to Stadio San Paolo, according to his agent.

The Italy international is a wanted man after his impressive domestic campaign was followed by a series of superb performances for Italy at Euro 2016.

Although Chelsea and Inter initially seemed to be leading the race to sign him, Lazio president Claudio Lotito claimed that talks with Napoli were "at an advanced stage" on Friday, with the Serie A runners-up reported to have lodged a bid worth close to €25 million.

Now the 29-year-old's agent, Federico Pastorello, claims the midfielder is keen to make the switch, as long as they can agree on personal terms.

"We only found out that Lazio and Napoli have an agreement on Thursday, and the player likes the destination," he told Mediaset Premium .

"We've now made our request for personal terms and will see what happens, taking into account that there are other negotiations from before."
