Ezequiel Lavezzi says he is happy to remain with Napoli despite being continually linked with a departure.

The Argentine playmaker has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester City and Juventus in recent times but he insists he is keen to remain in Naples and help the club succeed, starting with their Champions League Round of 16 first leg clash with Chelsea next week.

"My future? I believe that I will be at Napoli next season," Lavezzi told Sky Sport Italia.

"I'm happy here, I have a long contract and I am calm.

"I have never had contact with Juventus and, from what I know, there have not been any offers from other clubs."

"The game against Chelsea is the most important one of our season," he added.

"We are confident in ourselves.

"For now we must think about the Serie A game against Fiorentina (on Friday), with it crucial that we get the right boost for the Champions League challenge."
