Genoa are reported to have made an enquiry to Napoli regarding former Blues loanee Jens Cajuste.
The Sweden international has spent the last two seasons on loan with Town with the deal which saw him return last summer including an option to buy.
However, with the midfielder’s involvement having been limited throughout the campaign, the Blues chose not to pursue a permanent switch.
Now, widespread reports in Italy claim the 26-year-old is set to end his three-year stint with Napoli this summer with Genoa having made an approach.
Across his two spells with Town, Cajuste made 40 starts and 24 sub appearances, scoring twice.
Meanwhile, Genoa striker Jeff Ekhator, 19, a player who the Blues have been eyeing, is reported to be the subject of Juventus interest but with talks between the two clubs regarding a cash-plus-players deal worth €18 million (£15.5 million) having broken down, although likely to be revisited.
