Carlo Ancelotti expects negotiations with Real Madrid to bring James Rodriguez in Naples will take "a very long time".
Ancelotti, who worked with James, 28, at once Madrid and Bayern Munich, wants to sign the Colombian international.
But the president of Partenopei, Aurelio De Laurentiis, said in Madrid will have to reduce their demands for James, which is in excess of the requirements of the Santiago Bernabeu.
De Laurentiis is confident that an agreement can be reached, however, Ancelotti has already been in contact with the playmaker.
"James can play multiple roles behind the central striker, "Ancelotti told TV Luna on Saturday after a pre-season defeat at Benevento."
"I sent him a happy birthday message this week. Negotiations are in progress, it will take a lot of time, but we are not desperate or anything.
"If it does not work, we will always be a strong team and could go for a different target. "
Napoli have also been linked to Mauro Icardi, to whom it was said that he could leave the Inter, but Ancelotti said he was satisfied with offensive options including Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens.
"As for the attacker, a modern center forward can not just be a finisher now, That's why Arkadiusz Milik is very important to us, "said the Italian.
