Pereyra wants to quit Juventus for Napoli, says agent

A dispute over image rights is all that is holding up the 25-year-old move from the Turin side to their Serie A opponents, his representative, Sergio Furlan, has said

Roberto Pereyra is eager to quit Juventus and join Napoli, the midfielder's agent has said.

The 25-year-old moved to Turin from Udinese in 2014 but has found first-team opportunities limited under Massimiliano Allegri.

Pereyra made just nine starts in Serie A last season, and the signing of Miralem Pjanic for a reported 32 million euro ($35.5 million) fee has only cast further doubt on his place in Allegri's plans for 2016-17.
