Lavezzi to seal Napoli move?

Insigne is unlikely to play again this season after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury during Napoli’s win over Fiorentina.

That has left a gap in the Partenopei squad for a creative player, and Tuttosport believes that Ezequiel Lavezzi has been identified as the man to fill that hole.

The Argentinian left Napoli to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 for a fee of €26.5m, but has struggled to hold down a place in the side with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani ahead in the pecking order.

According to Tuttosport, the French side would be keen to get Lavezzi off the books with the player taking home up to €7.5m per season.

The 29-year-old’s contract expires in June 2016, and PSG are not likely to offer a renewal. The newspaper believes that the Parisiens would be willing to let Lavezzi leave in January, and though Liverpool are said to be keen the player himself is believed to favour a return to Napoli.
