Napoli sporting director Riccardo Bigon has ruled out making a move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and said that the player is not a priority target for the club.
The Argentine attacker is not a regular in Laurent Blanc’s side and is believed to be keen on returning to his former club, with Liverpool also holding a long term interest in the player.
Though he is not a regular, it has emerged PSG are not willing to sell the player in the middle of the season because they don’t want to go through the hazards of signing a replacement for him during the last leg of the winter window.
However, the club are willing to part with the player in the summer for a transfer fee of around €15m and the Argentine is believed to be eyeing a move back to Italy.
The Napoli sporting director insisted that though they like the player, he is not a necessity at the moment and indicated that the club are not too keen on signing him.
