Lavezzi agent reveals Liverpool move close

The agent of Napoli star Ezequiel Lavezzi has hinted a move to Liverpool is on for the Argentine whiz.

"Whether he stays or not depends entirely on Napoli, but I think the club wants to sell him," said agent Alejandro Mazzoni on Radio Kiss Kiss.

"Napoli did not keep their promises. I have been waiting for a call from (sports director) Pierpaolo Marino since Sunday so we can have a meeting with the President, so it is difficult for us to know what the club wants.

"I want to tell the fans that I have always been ready to come when the director calls and last time we spoke I told him of an important offer from a foreign club.

"The President has not replied, not even when Pocho himself called. I am not an authorised FIFA agent and I cannot talk about this, but what I can say is there was a genuine offer and Marino turned it down."

He added: "Now there is an important offer on the table for both the player and the club, now I get the feeling Napoli want to sell him.

"I wish to point out that Napoli are very important for Lavezzi, but we are talking about an English club that plays in the Champions League who are offering to treble his wages.

"Football players are not slaves, they are people, and you can buy his contract but not his will."
