Napoli has made contact with Torino over 19-year-old winger Alessio Cacciamani, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis reportedly approaching Torino owner Urbano Cairo in person.

Corriere dello Sport reported the contact on Wednesday and said Torino values the Italy Under-21 international at more than €20 million. No bid has been made.

The first signal came on Tuesday evening.

Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Napoli is following Cacciamani very closely ahead of the January transfer window. His report describes interest. The club-to-club contact comes from Corriere dello Sport alone.

Torino holds the stronger hand.

The club extended his contract to June 30, 2031 in September, after turning down a Roma offer of around €12 million in the summer, according to Corriere dello Sport. The valuation may climb further. In October, Radio Kiss Kiss journalist Valter De Maggio claimed Torino wants at least €45 million.

Born in Jesi in June 2007, Cacciamani made his Serie A debut as a late substitute against Inter on May 11, 2025. He then spent the 2025-26 season on loan at Juve Stabia in Serie B under Ignazio Abate, who now coaches Torino. Back in Turin, he has started 11 of Torino’s first 12 games across Serie A and the Coppa Italia this season, per Corriere dello Sport.

He is a right-footed player who works on the left, either as a winger or covering the whole flank as a wing-back. That range is what makes him attractive to a club planning changes in attack. For Torino, he is a homegrown starter on a long deal. Tuttosport put his wage at €300,000 a season when he renewed, so selling him would free up little salary. In Serie A terms, only the fee can persuade Torino.

For now, the reported step is contact between the two presidents. Napoli has not submitted a bid, the clubs have not agreed a fee, and there is no report of talks over personal terms. Neither club has commented. A formal offer would mark the first real negotiation stage in this story.
