Zaza agent confirms Napoli talks but rules out loan move

Napoli have held talks over Juventus striker Simone Zaza and he would prefer to stay in Serie A, the striker's father and agent has said.

The father and agent of Juventus striker Simone Zaza has confirmed that talks have been held over a move to Napoli.

The Italy international is expected to leave the Serie A champions before the transfer window closes on August 31, with €90million signing Gonzalo Higuain, Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala all ahead of him in the pecking order in Turin.

Reports have claimed that Napoli have seen a €28million bid accepted for the 25-year-old, and his father Antonio says the interest from Maurizio Sarri is "serious".
