Juan Sebastian Veron has given Ezequiel Lavezzi some advice. “Manchester City will be less pressure, but nobody's as passionate as Napoli.”

Aurelio De Laurentiis confirms Cristiano Lucarelli will play for Napoli, but warns Gokhan Inler not to “get ahead of himself” with Scudetto talk.

Genoa held talks with Serie A rivals Napoli yesterday to discuss a possible move for Luca Cigarini.

The former Italian Under-21 international has returned to Naples this summer after spending last term on loan at Sevilla.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it clear that he doesn't plan to sell Marek Hamsik. "I want €100m."

The Slovakian midfielder is reportedly of interest to Milan, but the San Paolo chief has reiterated that he would have to receive an offer that he couldn't refuse.

Cristiano Lucarelli says he knows nothing of reports that he will be playing for Napoli in 2011-12.

The veteran attacker joined the Azzurri from Parma last summer on a loan deal with the option to buy.

However, Lucarelli snapped knee ligaments in September during his second game for the outfit and was rarely used once he returned to action in January.

Napoli have admitted that their summer spending has still not come to an end after confirming that they need a striker.

The Azzurri have been busy in the market so far, this week alone signing Gokhan Inler, Miguel Britos and Mario Santana.

Joining Napoli was Mario Santana's primary objective this summer after his contract at Fiorentina expired.

The winger has this week signed for the Stadio San Paolo outfit, but only after Cesena and Juventus made late enquiries.

Miguel Angel Britos has thanked Napoli for giving him the chance to play at the highest levels of the Italian game.

Britos has now completed his expected transfer from Bologna and he can't wait to get started at the Stadio San Paolo.

Aurelio De Laurentiis promised more Napoli signings soon, but also hinted “Ezequiel Lavezzi could leave if his buy-out clause is matched.”

Napoli have officially signed former Fiorentina midfielder Mario Alberto Santana and goalkeeper Roberto Colombo.

Santana was a free agent after his contract with the Viola expired over the summer and had a deal with Napoli some time ago, but it was only made official this evening.
