Antonio Candreva: Linked with Juventus, Napoli and PSG

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has brushed aside reports linking midfielder Antonio Candreva with a move away from Rome this summer.

Reports in Italy claim the 27-year-old Candreva is a reported target of Juventus, Napoli and French champions Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Lotito has issued a hands-off warning to interested parties, claiming Candreva – who scored 12 goals and set up six others in 37 league appearances for the Roman outfit this season – will stay put.

“Candreva to Napoli is news to me,” Lotito said to Corriere dello Sport. “It’s a rumour that I want to categorically deny.

“I have never spoken to Napoli club president Aurelio De Laurentiis regarding the possibility of Candreva wearing the Napoli colours next season.

“Candreva will not leave Lazio.”

Candreva is currently training with Italy’s national team in Coverciano, Florence, in preparation for the World Cup.

The former Udinese player is under contract with the Biancoceleste until June 2018.

Lazio missed out on European football after finishing ninth in Serie A this season.
