Borussia Dortmund striker Ciro Immobile open to Napoli move

Borussia Dortmund striker Ciro Immobile is keen on a move to Napoli.

Immobile is weighing up his future in Dortmund this summer.

"The experience with Borussia Dortmund hasn't gone well, but it has still been good for me," Immobile told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“Having an experience abroad in an important League like Germany was very important, as well as joining a team of champions.

“It's been a useful experience, irrespective of goals or appearances.

“Would I go back to Italy? I've never made any secret of the fact that I'd love to wear the Napoli shirt. I've said that several times.

“That said, there are negotiations and contracts to respect. There are a lot of strong players at Napoli, and there would be a lot of competition, but it's normal that a Neapolitan player like me would love to wear that blue shirt.

“A front three of me, Lorenzo Insigne and Gonzalo Higuain? I don't think that trident would be too bad!

“I met the President [Aurelio De Laurentiis] recently, we didn't talk, I saw him with the national team, but we just said 'hi'.

“We met in the dressing room, he gave me a pat on the shoulder and said 'hey handsome'!"
