Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in signing Napoli playmaker Eljif Elmas in January.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed an impressive campaign with the Serie A title challengers this season, scoring six goals and providing two assists in 25 appearances across all competitions.
According to journalist Talha Arslan, via the Daily Express, both Leeds and Dortmund attempted to sign Elmas last summer and they are now preparing to make a January offer with an 'astronomical price' to try and tempt Napoli to sell the midfielder.
The report adds that Marcelo Bielsa's men are looking to increase their initial offer for the North Macedonia international to around £15.3m.
Since joining from Fenerbahce in July 2019, Elmas has scored 10 goals in 105 appearances for Napoli, and he has also won the 2019-20 Coppa Italia.
Elmas, who has previously been linked with La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract and Napoli are under no pressure to sell him in January.
