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.
