Napoli chief Bigon dismisses Man City link for Lavezzi

Napoli football chief Riccardo Bigon has ruled out allowing Ezequiel Lavezzi to leave for Manchester City.

Lavezzi has been linked with City in a swap for Mario Balotelli.

But Bigon says: "An exchange of Lavezzi for Balotelli? It is fantasy football, we have never spoken and I do not think we will in the future.

"Balotelli is an excellent player, I do not want to be misunderstood, but we consider Lavezzi non-transferable, now he is connected to Naples so I do not see why change."
