Inter Milan have expressed interest in Napoli attacker Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Inter were the favourites, but appear to have been overtaken by Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.

"Lavezzi is a great player, but if I speak highly of him then his price-tag will rise further," joked Inter director Marco Tronchetti Provera.

"If he wants to come to Inter then we'd be happy to welcome him, but if he doesn't want to join us then that is his mistake and he's free to make it."
