JACK GREALISH could be the latest star to quit the Premier League for Italy.
SunSport can exclusively reveal that Serie A leaders Napoli are tracking the England and Manchester City star amid growing uncertainty over his future.
Antonio Conte is believed to be a “huge fan” of the talented winger, whose chances for City this year have been limited.
It’s also unclear if he forms part of manager Pep Guardiola’s plans as he gets set for a major summer rebuild at the Etihad.
Conte, who saw Grealish’s talents first-hand when he coached in England, believes the ex-Aston Villa ace would be a marquee signing for the Italian giants.
And he thinks the player could help his side make the next step and become Champions League contenders next season.

Sources close to Grealish say the player is open-minded to leaving and recognises a move could be the key to refreshing his career and boosting his England chances.
And a switch abroad is believed to be Grealish’s preference rather than staying in the Premier League.
Spurs and his former club Villa have been previously linked with a move but City are believed to be reluctant to let a Premier League rival have a star who remains unplayable when in top form.
Napoli are unlikely to be the only club racing to sign Grealish though.

German giants Dortmund have been linked with the player, and Napoli’s Serie A rivals AC Milan are also known admirers.
Kyle Walker’s switch to the San Siro could also pave the way for a move.
Grealish was recently in Dortmund as SunSport exclusively revealed.
He whisked his family and friends away on a private jet to watch a Rob Stewart gig in an extravagant £100,000 splurge.
Clubs in America and Saudi Arabia are also monitoring Grealish – but the player believes he can still play at the very highest level and nail down a position as an England starter.
If Grealish does make the switch to Napoli he’d follow in the footsteps of Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour who have become massive favourites among fans of Conte’s Napoli side.
