Edinson Cavani is a transfer target for some of Europe's biggest clubs
this summer, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is not convinced
the striker should leave the club.
Real Madrid, Chelsea and
Manchester City all want the Uruguay international, though none of the
interested parties are yet to activate his £53.7 million release clause.
And De Laurentiis has warned the 26-year-old against leaving Napoli for a club where he may not take centre stage.
"Napoli
is a true cradle for Cavani, allowing his inner child to express
himself and fulfill his potential," De Laurentiis said at a press
conference.
"He knows that he is the star of the show here at
Napoli and you never know whether this will also be the case at Real
Madrid or anywhere else.
"We have already seen how [Diego] Forlan
and [Luis] Suarez have outshone him for Uruguay and how this has
affected his goalscoring record.
"I have little doubt that he
will take all of this into consideration before making a decision. He
will make a decision on his future and we will follow his direction."
