Napoli are determined to prise Kostas Tsimikas away from Liverpool this summer.
Napoli chief Cristiano Giuntoli has prioritised a deal for the Greece international and made a first attempt last week.
Corriere dello Sport says Giuntoli sought a straight loan deal, but the approach was rejected by Liverpool.
This hasn't put off Giuntoli, who plans to return with a revised proposal.
Napoli know Tsimikas is keen on the move and are counting on the player's willingness to force Liverpool back to the table.
