Walter Mazzarri’s side are currently three points behind leaders AC Milan in the second place in the Italian top-flight, with just six more rounds of matches left in the league.

Napoli last won the title in 1990 and with Milan set to miss striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the next three games, Trapattoni believes that this season that Diego Maradona’s former club could go all the way.

BARCELONA INTERESTED IN NAPOLI’S HAMSIK

Barcelona are interested in signing Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik and are keeping a close eye on him with a move in the summer being possible.

Sport.es and Il Corriere dello Sport are both claiming scouts from Camp Nou were at San Siro for Monday night’s Scudetto showdown between AC Milan and Napoli, where Hamsik’s side were the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline.

Despite watching Alexis Sanchez for Udinese at Palermo on Sunday, Barcelona are eager to discover if there is a way of luring the 23-year-old Slovakian international to Spain.

However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is not keen on selling any of his stars, especially if they qualify for next season’s Champions League, which is looking likely despite last night’s reverse.

CAVANI BANNED FOR THREE MATCHES

Edinson Cavani has scored Napoli’s 1000th goal and he has been banned for his bad celebration. All it took him were 25 matches to have his name carved into the annals of the club. When he scored a penalty against Roma, Edinson Cavani had hit Napoli’s 1,000th away goal. It was a present he had given himself to celebrate his 24th birthday on St Valentine’s Day. The date is only of interest to those who love statistics, because the Uruguayan’s contribution to the club is impossible to calculate. He is the new king of Naples, undisputed idol of the supporters. His talent has brought the joy of seeing the club up there, challenging for the title in the name of the whole city. The night in the Olimpico Stadium just showed us how good he really is and how devastating he can be in the last 16 metres. He is well and truly a phenomenon and half the world is envious of Aurelio De Laurentiis. But Cavani’s day of glory was clouded over by the Lavezzi’s 3-match ban for spitting at Rosi on Saturday in Rome. The club is set to appeal but it’s a certainty that the Pocho will miss the big match against AC Milan coming up at the Meazza Stadium soon.

NAPOLI AND UDINESE REACH AGREEMENT

Napoli and Inter Milan have reached an agreement worth about £ 11.1 million for the transfer of Gokhan from Udinese. Deadlock has been broken after weeks of negotiations as Aurelio De Laurentiis and his transfer team have convinced Udinese into parting company with the 26-year-old Swiss international.

Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli claims a principal agreement has been reached for a summer switch to fall in line with requests from Friulani president Giampaolo Pozzo.

NAPOLI CLOSE ON MILAN

Napoli are still refusing to give up on the title race after being very close to AC Milan this weekend. They will be hoping for more good form from Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, whose hat-trick on Sunday led them to a 3-0 win over Juventus.

The 23-year-old became the joint top scorer in Serie A with 13 goals as Napoli cut Milan’s lead to just four points at the top of the league, after Massimiliano Allegri’s side were held to a 4-4 draw at home by Udinese.

Also on Saturday, Inter Milan will look to continue their good form under new boss Leonardo when they welcome Bologna to the San Siro.

Leonardo has won all three matches since taking over from Rafael Benitez on December 24, after the defending champions lost patience with the Spaniard.

Napoli are also rumoured to be chasing Adam Johnson and Alberto Aquilani.

NAPOLI TO WIN A TROPHY

Cavani says that he is convinced that Napoli can win a silverware in 2011. The Uruguay international striker has played a big part in Napoli being second in Serie A at the winter break.

“The first half of the season has been very positive,” he said. “We are getting big results game after game.

“It’s the fruit of our very tough daily work. The Napoli fans want players who put there spirit into it and always fight for the shirt on the pitch.

NAPOLI MOVE TO SECOND PLACE

Napoli are up to the second place in the Italian league after a win over Genoa. With Lavezzi out with an ankle injury and Serie A’s player strike called off on Thursday, Slovakia playmaker Hamsik met a Walter Gargano free-kick on 26 minutes in a match that, while initially controlled by Napoli, finished with the hosts – who missed half a dozen good chances to draw level – dominating play.

According to reports in Italy, Napoli have made contact with Liverpool through Eccleston’s agent and it is now up to manager Roy Hodgson to decide.
