Napoli have become the latest club to be associated with a summer swoop for Juventus’ forgotten man Valeri Bojinov.
“Bojinov and myself have talked about the possibility of moving to Napoli,” stated his agent Gerry Palomba.
“The player has confirmed that he would like to wear the Azzurri jersey. Let’s say that Napoli are at the top of his list of desired destinations.”
The San Paolo outfit, currently second in Serie B, have been linked with the Bulgarian international whose future is far from certain.
The former Lecce ace is currently on loan at Juventus but they seem unwilling to take up their option to keep him after his failure to impress boss Didier Deschamps.
However, although Palomba has opened the Naples door, he admits that parent club Fiorentina may have their own plans for the youngster.
“Bojinov will return to Florence and it is not certain that they will then sell him,” added the representative.
“After all, they paid around £11m in total for him [from Lecce] a few years ago. What’s he worth now? I don’t know.”
Fiorentina could decide to give Bojinov another chance to shine at the Franchi if they opt to cash in on wanted striker Luca Toni at the end of this season.
