Cavani ignoring transfer talk

Premier League and Juventus target Edinson Cavani has hinted that he wants to stay with Napoli.

Hot-shot striker unfazed by European interest

Premier League and Juventus target Edinson Cavani has hinted that he wants to stay with Napoli. The clinical Uruguayan striker has reportedly attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Juve following a season in which the 25-year-old hitman helped Napoli lift the Coppa Italia cup - their first piece of silverware in 22 years. Team-mate Ezequiel Lavezzi looks set to exit San Paolo this summer, with Liverpool thought to be keen on him and Cavani. However, the ex-Palermo marksman seems unfazed by the media attention surrounding his future and appears instead to be looking forward to Napoli's next Serie A campaign. "The Coppa Italia is simply the start for Napoli so that we can do even better next year," he told the Corriere dello Sport. "I read the stories about me and the transfer market, but I know how the media game goes. It's part of the sport and of my job, but I don't listen to the rumours, nor do they annoy me. "Besides, when I am on vacation I dedicate myself to my family and try to recharge my batteries so I can keep giving great moments of joy to the Napoli fans."
