The term "preferiti" is incorrect and, though it's an Italian word, it would never be used in such a context. The correct expression is "papabili", which means "apt and likely to be chosen as Pope". Furthermore, this expression "papabile" has later come to signify any person likely to be chosen : for example, if a football team owner wants to choose a new trainer the press always talks of a small group of "papabili" would-be trainers.
