Andrea Dossena Unlikely To Leave Liverpool For Napoli - Agent


Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena is unlikely to leave Anfield for Napoli in January, according to his agent.

Dossena has not especially enjoyed his 18 month spell on Merseyside, struggling to make any impact on the first team.

A proposed move back to Serie A has been mooted for several months, with Napoli appearing to be favourites to land the Italian international.

However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis seems to be becoming a little impatient with how the proposed move is progressing and is ready to turn his attentions elsewhere, hinting at the player's wage demands being the snag which has halted the deal.


"I'm tired of hearing about Dossena. If they want to give him to us OK, otherwise nothing," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"What is the problem? If a player wants to relaunch, he cannot think only of money.

"However, I'm considering a number of names."

Dossena's agent Federico Pastorello also indicated that he is ready to bring negotiations to an end.

"I don't want controversy, I'm on good terms with the president," Pastorello told Sky Italia.

"I think there aren't conditions for continuing negotiations with Napoli."
