The agent of Manolo Gabbiadini admits Everton made a serious bid for Napoli yesterday.
The striker saw the deadline pass still a Napoli player.
Silvio Pagliari told TMW: "Napoli did not want to give up the player, they refused important figures: it means that the club believes in him.
"Manolo has the potential to do well.
"Everton had offered €23 million, Napoli said no. it means that Napoli holds the boy and we like that. Not only that, we also started talking about the contract renewal."
