Liverpool had Lavezzi bid rejected

Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi’s agent Eduardo Rossetto has confirmed that Liverpool have had a bid for the Napoli star rejected.

Rossetto admits that it is still unsure if Lavezzi will stay with Napoli for next season.

“Napoli own the player, and they have the last word,” the agent told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“I can confirm that an important offer exceeding €20million was made, but De Laurentiis did not consider it sufficient.”

He continued: “Will he stay? That depends on Napoli. It’s like owning a car. If it’s just an average motor then you don’t have to spend much on maitainence.

“But, if it’s a high spec type, then it will cost you more,” added the agent, in reference to Napoli’s costs of keeping their man.

“Without going into too much detail, Lavezzi’s wages would be tripled.”
