One of Lorenzo Insigne's representatives has admitted that he knows the Napoli forward is being chased by a number of clubs, but cannot imagine Rafael Benitez's men parting with him.

Insigne has recently been linked with Arsenal, whose manager Arsene Wenger was credited with preparing a €20m swoop for the Italy international.




Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis quickly mocked such a suggestion, insisting Insigne is worth closer to €70m.

However, what is clear is that the man who scored two goals in this season's Coppa Italia final is a wanted man.

"The president never fails to point out the player's importance at Napoli", Fabio Andreotti told Tutto Mercato.

"He has a contract and his future is in a blue shirt.

"We know that there are many European clubs that are courting him, but at the moment he remains at Napoli."

Insigne has been included in Cesare Prandelli's World Cup squad and could increase his number of suitors still further with good performances in Brazil.
