Napoli reject Pool's Lavezzi bid
Friday 22 May, 2009

Napoli have allegedly turned down a bumper bid from Liverpool for Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi.

The 24-year-old has become a hero at the Stadio San Paolo, but he could leave for a bigger side this summer.

El Pocho has been linked with Juventus as well as Premier League giants Liverpool.

Reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport state that Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has rejected a huge £22m offer from Liverpool this week.

Neither side have confirmed that such a bid was ever tabled, but it is suggested that representatives will meet next week.

Lavezzi is under contract until 2013 and De Laurentiis has no intention of selling him, but he may struggle to prevent the rising star leaving for a side with a Champions League berth.
