Napoli and Fenerbahce have yet to agree on a price both sides would be happy with and talks are set to continue throughout the day and tomorrow.

Elmas has another three-years remaining on his contract and joined the Yellow-Navy Blues for just €180,000 [Transfermarkt] in summer, 2017.

Fenerbahce are open to selling Elmas due to their current financial situation but only for the right price.

The Macedonia international of Turkish origin had an impressive season last term scoring four goals in 40 appearances for the Yellow Canaries in all competitions.
