Lucas again linked with Napoli
One of the standard Liverpool rumours has been recycled yet again. It looks as if Brazilian midfielder Lucas could be off to Napoli – with the Daily Star this time making the link.
The midfielder was tipped to join the Serie A side last summer but a bid failed to materialise as he remained at Anfield. Napoli boss Rafael Benitez – who brought Lucas to England – remains a huge fan and his agent has hinted a switch could happen in January.
Henrique Coelho is quoted as saying: “Is it possible for Lucas Leiva to leave Liverpool in January? Yes, naturally. Lucas really likes Benitez. After all, the two know each other well.”
