However, while on international duty for the Euro 2020 qualifiers, Hysaj seemed to imply an exit was not guaranteed.
“I am not annoyed by the rumours going around. I have another two years on my contract with Napoli and right now I am focused on international football, then I’ll have a vacation.”
The 25-year-old joined Napoli from Empoli in 2015 for €5m and made 170 appearances during his time at the Stadio San Paolo.
