Liverpool Have Not Reached Deal To Sign Napoli Striker Edinson Cavani

The agent of Napoli striker Edinson Cavani insists his client has not agreed a deal to join Liverpool in January.

Cavani, 23, only joined the Serie A side from Palermo this summer for a fee believed to be in the region of €17 million (£14.3m) but has already been linked with a move away from Italy.

Reports suggested that Liverpool were set to were set to offer €24m (£20.3m) to secure the striker’s services, but his agent, Claudio Anelucci, has dismissed the speculation.

“It’s just fantasies because Liverpool have not reached any deal,” he told tuttomercatoweb. “Edinson is fine in Naples, he is doing well at the club and is getting on very well with everyone.

“We are only in the third round of Serie A games, there are no problems and this is not the time for the transfer market."

“Is Napoli seen as a springboard for another move? No, Naples is a destination,” insisted Anellucci.

However, Cavani’s agent refused to rule out a future move for the Uruguay international.

“If Napoli get any bids then we will decide what to do. But I do not think the club should sell Edinson,” he said.
