Immobile agent drops Napoli hint

By Football Italia staff

Ciro Immobile’s agent denies his client has sold his house in Dortmund, but hints he could move to Napoli.

It was reported yesterday that the striker’s agent had met with Milan’s joint-CEO Adriano Galliani, with a view to returning to Serie A.

Bild even speculated that the Italian international had sold his house in Germany in preparation, but the representative of the former Torino man says that’s nonsense.

“They said he’d sold his house in Dortmund,” Marco Sommella told Radio CRC.

“That’s incorrect, because he never bought a house in Dortmund. A Neapolitan lad would never buy a house after six months, use your logic.

“On September 1 we’ll know if Immobile will return to Italy. Two years ago Borussia Dortmund played in the Champions League final, no-one expected this slump but we’ll make our evaluations at the end of the season.

“Ciro is an Italian international striker, and I think if he was on the market there would be some interested teams.

“Napoli? You’d have to ask [sporting director Riccardo] Bigon. It’s too early for those kind of things, but we will say that Immobile is a neapolitan and a Napoli fan.

“We’ll make certain assessments and proceed calmly.”
