The agent of Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has revealed the long-term interest of Napoli.

Edgardo Lasalvia admits Napoli have asked after the Uruguayan youngster this season.

He told Radio Kiss Kiss: "About a month ago, we had an interview between my partner, Gerardo Rabajda who represents with me Federico Valverde, and a leader of Napoli.

"The club has shown interest in the player, although there is nothing more for the moment. Federico has his head completely at Real Madrid and he wants to convince (Zinedine) Zidane and the Merengue to bet on him."
