rumours of ozil to utd make me feel sick.
Reports are emerging that Napoli have a deal for Cagliari and Italy defender Davide Astori worth €13m.
The rumour is doing the rounds at both Sky Sport Italia and Sport Mediaset on Friday evening, so is gaining credence quickly.
It’s not the first time Napoli have been interested in Astori, so would not be a surprise move, although so far Cagliari have always resisted.
The deal is thought to be worth €13m with a four-year contract for €1m per season.
Cagliari President Massimo Cellino said last week that he would only release Astori if he requested the transfer, which appears to have now happened.
Astori had also been linked with Milan, Fiorentina, Southampton and Sunderland.

What's with this "Captain Fantastic" stuff? The only player who should be given that title on here was playing in our no.8 shirt yesterday.
Despite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, Turkish media report Lazio have a deal for Burak Yilmaz.
The 28-year-old Galatasaray striker scored a spectacular 34 goals in 47 official games last season between club and country, also providing nine assists.
He has caught the eye of Liverpool and Arsenal, in both cases as an alternative to Luis Suarez.
However, Turkish media sabah.com.tr maintain Lazio have a basic agreement with the player for a five-year contract worth €2.5m per season.
Another Turkish side, Sporx, maintain the transfer fee is €15m and Lazio have so far reached €10m.
This is considerably lower than the €25m price-tag bandied about by English newspapers for the player.
It is reported Yilmaz requested a transfer after the Turkish Super Cup match.
Looks like the jokers/arse have have had a 10mill bid turned down for Cabaye as 'derisory'. They'll probably go upto 10mill+£1 before the weekend.
I'm not sure I agree with that. Newcastle can see the chance to make a huge profit, because they know the Arse are desperate now. This way they get the message across while continuing to present a tough front in the negotiations themselves.
Real Madrid's long-running pursuit of forward Gareth Bale, 24, is close to a conclusion with Tottenham poised to accept an offer of £93m plus 25-year-old Portuguese wing-back Fabio Coentrao.
