After a long meeting with coach Walter Mazzarri, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed that the 50 year old will remain for the next season and that the possibility of a contract extension has been evaluated. Meanwhile, the situation of 27 year old Ezequiel Lavezzi and 25 year old Edinson Cavani remains uncertain: Claudio Anellucci, agent of the Uruguay national has declared that he is waiting to meet the club next week, while the Argentine continues to be tracked by Inter Milan. If El Pocho will leave, Napoli could swoop on Rubin Kazan 21 year old Douglas Costa.

Lavezzi doesn't seem to be the only Napoli player on Inter Milan's wishlist: according to calciomercato.com, in fact, the nerazzurri have joined AC Milan, AS Rome and Fiorentina in the auction for 30 year old wingback Andrea Dossena, and are also interested in 26 year old winger Juan Camilo Zuniga. Uruguayan forward Diego Forlan has confirmed yesterday his intention to remain, but if he would change his mind, he could be replaced by Hoffenheim 22 year old Boris Vukcevic, as revealed by the Italian agent of the youngster to Sky Sport. Regarding the possible departures, Galatasaray seem ready to make a rich offer to Cristian Chivu, while 19 year old Dutch striker Luc Castaignos could move back to his former club Feyenoord.
