Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva admits Napoli are keen on him.

The Brazilian has found himself on the fringes this term but impressed after being handed a start against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.

"In the summer there was the interest of Napoli, as well as other clubs," Lucas revealed to Sky Sport Italia.

"[Napoli boss Rafa] Benitez had asked for my purchase. My goal is to play with continuity. We'll see."
