Nikola Maksimovic admits he'd welcome the chance to re-sign for Napoli.

The defender is training on his own after being released by Napoli earlier this summer.

"I'm currently released and I'm training every day to be ready," Maksimovic told Napoli Magazine. “I'm fine physically.

“I would run back; I feel at home there. The city has welcomed me and my family in a big way, we have made friendships that will remain strong for life.

“My children feel like Neapolitans and do well in the schools they attend. I'm ready to make myself available to find an agreement and continue together."

The defender revealed he would enjoy working with new coach Luciano Spalletti.

“I'm there. I respect Spalletti and I would like to work with him," he said. “He's an experienced coach who takes great care of the details.

“I followed the first friendlies of Napoli, I see a very united group. It will be a season full of games and there will be room for everyone.

“The target remains to get the most out of every competition."
