Napoli target Liverpool's Martin Skrtel?

Napoli coach Rafael Benitez is reportedly preparing an offer for Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel.

The 28-year-old, who joined Liverpool from Zenit St Petersburg in 2008, has been linked with a number of European clubs this summer.

However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli have emerged as the favourites to sign the Slovakian centre-back.

Skrtel was signed for Liverpool by Benitez in 2008.
