Napoli will continue to pursue Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro, even if they don’t make it into the Champions League group stages, according to reports.

Il Mattino claims that Head Coach Rafael Benitez is eager to bring in the Brazil international, regardless of whether his side beat Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.

The only difference the outcome of that match could make to the deal is whether it is a loan or permanent transfer. 

Ideally, Napoli would like to sign Sandro outright for €9.5 million, but if they are consigned to the Europa League, then they may have to settle for an initial loan agreement.
