Napoli are reportedly considering a January move for Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa.

The Italian outfit's president Aurelio de Laurentiis is said to have told manager Rafael Benitez that he can bring in three new players in the winter window.

Benitez, who worked alongside Arbeloa during their times at Liverpool, wants to bring the Spaniard to Serie A, according to talkSPORT.

Arbeloa has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract at the Bernabeu.
