Napoli 'irritated' by rumours relating to Roberto Firmino | OneFootball

Napoli officials are reportedly unhappy with the speculation linking them with a move for Roberto Firmino this summer.

Those reports began in the English press this week and gathered pace before being picked up by local media in Campania.

Those claims stated that the Serie A leaders are the favourites to sign the Liverpool forward on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Firmino has already confirmed that he will depart Anfield in June upon the expiration of his contract.

However, RAI Sport put those claims to the Napoli hierarchy, whose response was blunt stating that they “totally deny the news and are irritated” by it.

The Partenopei do currently have plenty of attacking options at their disposal with Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvarataskhelia, Giovanni Simeone, Giacomo Raspadori and Hirving Lozano all currently competing for playing time.
