Luca Toni: "I was close to joining Napoli"

Luca Toni has revealed that he almost joined Napoli during last month's transfer window.

Instead, the 34-year-old opted to sign for United Arab Emirates outfit Al Nasr from Juventus.

"I was close to joining Napoli, I would have liked to wear the shirt of such a strong club," he told Il Mattino.

"I would like to congratulate their president, who has built a top team."

Former Italy international Toni has scored one goal for his new club.
