Lavezzi has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, with his agent revealing last week several clubs, including Liverpool, were keen to acquire the South American's services - although Reds boss Rafael Benitez has denied any interest.

Napoli general director Pierpaolo Marino said: "Napoli have not received any requests for Lavezzi from official channels. We own his contract and we have not placed Lavezzi on the market."

Lavezzi, who joined the Naples-based outfit in the summer of 2007, scored seven goals for the Serie A club this season.

The 24-year-old is under contract with Napoli until June 2012.
