Agent hints at Napoli move for Udinese star Inler

The agent of Udinese midfielder Gokhan Inler has hinted at a move to Napoli this summer.

Inler refused to celebrate scoring against the Azzurri on the weekend, though denies it was because he has already agreed to join them.

"I have many friends in Switzerland who are Napoli supporters and they asked me not to score. Out of respect to them, I responded that way," said Inler.

"I had also done it in the Coppa Italia against Milan for the same reason, but all this chaos hadn't happened that time.

"My heart is black and white and I think I proved that with my performance against Napoli. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, as it was not my intention. Once I got back to the locker room, I shouted my joy and embraced my teammates.

"My future has absolutely not been decided and I haven't signed for another club."

But agent Dino Lamberti says: "He didn't celebrate out of respect for the Napoli fans, as he knows that they love him."
