The agent of Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi admits a return to Italy - and possibly to Napoli - could be on after the World Cup.
The 22-year-old Italy international had two stints at Parma either side of his time with Manchester United in 2003-04 and 2006-07.
Speaking to Sport Italia, his agent, Andrea Pastorello, said: "Giuseppe finds himself very well in Spain, but it's clear that he would prefer to return to Italy at the end of the season.
"There is the World Cup in front of him and unless there are any surprises he will go to South Africa, then we'll see what happens.
"Sure, with the economic crisis there are few Italian clubs that could sign him like Inter, Juve, Milan or even Napoli who have shown that they are capable of making good investments."
