Manchester City want to sign Napoli's star striker Edinson Cavani, according to the club's assistant manager Angelo Gregucci.
Cavani has been in devastating form in Serie A this season, scoring 16 times to lead the scoring charts in Italy's top flight.
Gregucci believes that Roberto Mancini's side are leading the chase for the Uruguayan hitman, which includes a host of Europe's biggest clubs.
He told Radio CRC: "I don't know if the club will lay siege to Napoli for Cavani, but every club with a player of the highest level will know they'll be courted by bigger clubs.
"Mancini decides the transfer targets along with the new directors. If you ask the clubs who can afford Cavani, for example Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, then I think they'd want Cavani just as Manchester City want him.
"However, what the player wants is the predominant factor in negotiations and it seems to me that Cavani is happy at Napoli."
The 25-year-old scored a hat-trick in his last match to guide Napoli to a 4-1 win against Roma last weekend.
