Napoli reportedly turned down Mario Balotelli, but Ajax could still pick him up.
The enfant terrible of Italian football is struggling to find teams willing to bet on him, after the last two years saw his career spiral downwards.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the player's agent Mino Raiola phoned Napoli and checked on their interest.
The initial answer by president Aurelio De Laurentiis was negative, although Coach Maurizio Sarri's opinion still has to be weighed in.
Raiola also had some contacts with Ajax, where things may actually work out. If the Dutch club makes it past the play-offs and qualifies for next year's Champions League, then Balotelli might just join them.
Pescara are also believed to have shown an interest in picking up Super Mario, but the striker turned down.
