Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is eager to see a move to Napoli happen.

Gazzetta dello Sport says the Liverpool midfielder has told former Reds boss Rafa Benitez he wants to join him at Napoli.

Benitez is on the lookout for midfield options as he looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new season.

The Spanish boss wants to rival Juventus for the Serie A title, and providing they beat Athletic Bilbao in a play-off, challenge strongly in the Champions League.
