Napoli coach Rafa Benitez is being linked with a return to Liverpool.
The Spaniard, who led Liverpool to Champions League glory during his previous time in charge, comes off contract at Napoli in June.
SportItalia says Benitez is being pushed by Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis to open talks over a new deal.
Liverpool and Peter Lim's Valencia are monitoring Benitez's situation.
Lim, ironically, was beaten by FSG to the takeover of Liverpool ahead of buying out Valencia this year.
