Standard

Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi’s agent has said that his client may not move clubs after all in the summer.

Ezequiel Lavezzi has been linked with a summer switch to other European clubs after achieving many things that Napoli over the last few seasons.

It is thought that the striker is looking for a new challenge. Chelsea, who were the opponents for Napoli in the last 16 stage of the champions league, are thought to be highly interested in securing the services of the striker. However, Ezequiel Lavezzi’s agent recently said that the possibility of his client moving in the summer may not be certain after all.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis recently revealed that there have been no offers for the striker. The Argentine has been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea over the last few months.

Ezequiel Lavezzi along with the likes of Marek Hamsik and Edinson Cavani have been the backbone for this spectacular Napoli side, which has left a strong mark in the champions league this season. They’re currently doing well on the Italian Serie A and are hoping to qualify for the champions league next season. There have been a few reports that Lavezzi was unhappy in the match against Catania during the weekend – a match that Napoli drew 2-2.

“The ‘three tenors’ [Lavezzi, Marek Hamsik and Edinson Cavani] may still remain at Napoli, they have long contracts and it will be De Laurentiis the one to decide. It is important, however, that the club play in the Champions League next season, so that malcontents do not arise,” Lavezzi’s agent Alejandro Mazzoni said in an interview given to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli. Napoli are currently fourth in the Italian Serie A – three points behind third placed team Lazio.
