The Inter full-back had seemed all set for a €5.5m deal, but the club pulled out today amid reports he required knee surgery.

“For me he doesn’t have the characteristics to verify him for the way we wanted to use him. He’s a great professional and a great player, but we’re exploring other avenues now, also in midfield,” said President Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Now Napoli have released a formal statement to deny a failed medical was the issue.

“As you can hear from the full audio recording of his interview with Radio Kiss Kiss, Aurelio De Laurentiis never referred to the physical condition of the player Davide Santon.

“Other reports of supposed comments from the President are false.”
