Napoli reiterate desire to keep Edinson Cavani

Cavani "not for sale"

Napoli have reiterated that Edinson Cavani will remain with the Italian side for next season, despite constant interest from clubs around Europe.

The Uruguayan international has been linked with switches to Manchester City, Chelsea and more recently Juventus, who are thought to be willing to pay cash as well as offer two players to secure the deal.

"Cavani is not for sale and he doesn't want to move from Naples," Napoli sporting director Riccardo Bigon told Corriere dello Sport. "I reiterate that Cavani will remain at Napoli."

Premier League champions City were thought to have targeted Cavani as their top target after reportedly giving up on trying to lure Arsenal striker Robin van Persie from the Emirates.
