Feyenoord rejected an initial bid of €6m for Daryl Janmaat from Italian club Napoli this weekend.
Janmaat’s performance for Feyenoord this season has attracted interest from various quarters and Napoli have become the first club to make a move for the Dutchman.
The Dutch side have slapped a transfer fee of €8m on Janmaat and are not ready to sell for anything less than the quoted figure, according to Tuttosport.
Napoli’s sporting director Riccardo Bigon was in Holland at the weekend and was trying to negotiate a transfer fee for Janmaat with Feyenoord.
