The Italian international has struggled for first-team football at Napoli.
This summer saw Italian international Emanuele Giaccherini make a permanent move away from Sunderland.
Giaccherini was a shock coup for Sunderland back in 2013. He arrived from Juventus for a fee reported by The Mirror to be in the £6.5 million region but he struggled on Wearside.
But he continued to thrive for the Italian national team and this summer was brilliant for Italy at Euro 2016.
He moved to Napoli but has played just 12 times for the club since making his move and his agent confirmed today he will be leaving the club.

Furio Valcareggi has told Radio Kiss Kiss:
“I have now understood that Emanuele will never play again [at Napoli]. I am friends with [Napoli manager] Maurizio Sarri and there isn’t an argument with him.
“But I am asking, together with my colleague Giulio Marinelli that we find a solution for him to leave the club.”
So should Everton take an interest. They were, after all, linked with the player in the summer.

La Rosa Rossa reported that Everton had put themselves forward to the Italian international as a potential option if he was leaving Sunderland this summer.
However, the report claimed the player decided against a move to Everton as he was desperate to play Champions League football and return to Italy.
That has not worked out for him and with Yannick Bolasie injured and Gerard Deulofeu joining AC Milan there might be space at Goodison Park for the 29-cap Italian international.
