Chelsea's Raul Meireles cools talk of a move to Napoli.

Chelsea midfielder Raul Meireles has cooled talk that he could move to Napoli this summer.

The Italian outfit will have funds available if the sale of Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi to Paris Saint-Germain goes through, and have targeted the Champions League winner.

The 29-year-old is currently away at Euro 2012 with Portugal as they prepare to face Spain in the semi-finals on Wednesday, and insists that the tournament is his primary focus at the moment.

"I am fully focused on the European Championship and now I think it is not the time to discuss my future," said Meireles.

Meireles moved to Chelsea from Liverpool in 2011.
