RIO DE JANEIRO, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Napoli are reportedly preparing a move to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael during the European summer transfer window.

Rafael has won three international caps for Brazil and was a member of Mano Menezes' Olympic team that took the Silver medal in London last year.

Napoli currently have three goalkeepers in their squad: Morgan de Sanctis, Antonio Rosati and Roberto Colombo.
