Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis is prepared to sell Manchester City target Ezequiel Lavezzi.
De Laurentiis sent a warning to Lavezzi, whose 32m buy-out clause could be activated by Manchester City.
"Lavezzi will return from international duty on August 4 and we welcome him with open arms," said the President on Radio Marte.
"If he wants to stay, then we will be very happy, otherwise we'll sign someone even stronger than he is.
"The fans and media may want more signings every day, but Coach Walter Mazzarri has made it clear he wants no more than 22 players in his squad. Journalists stir up trouble and I won't play their game."
