South American delighted to have completed his move

Fiorentina winger Mario Alberto Santana is dreaming of playing in the UEFA Champions League with Napoli. The South American is switching Italian clubs on a free transfer this summer after agreeing a three-year deal. Napoli will be playing in the Champions League next season after finishing third in Serie A in the last campaign. And Santana is excited by the prospect, as he told Il Mattino: "I'm delighted to be joining Napoli. There was initial contact in January, but then nothing came of it. "I agreed to the move and I just can't wait to start my new adventure in Azzurro. I'm already dreaming of the Champions League." Santana is unlikely to be Napoli's only new signing this summer and they have bid for Parma midfielder Blerim Dzemaili. Parma director general told TMW: "Napoli have bid €7m for him, as well as offering Manuele Blasi and a 50 per cent share in Fabiano Santacroce." Napoli are also reported to be interested in Fiorentina midfielder Marco Donadel, who is available on a free transfer.
