Manchester City chief scout Carlo Cancellieri has admitted that the club are keeping tabs on Napoli trio Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani.
"I confirm the interest of Manchester City in Hamsik, Lavezzi and Cavani, and I think that this should only please Napoli fans."
Cancellieri highlighted a particular interest in Uruguayan striker Cavani, who scored against the Citizens at the Etihad in September.
"Cavani, in particular, has always been a player I like a lot.
"Other than Ibrahimovic, Cavani is the most incisive attacker in Serie A and his agent knows well Manchester City's appreciation for his client."
The Premier League leaders face the Italian side in a crucial Champions League clash on Tuesday.
