Andrea Dossena's agent has ruled out a return to Italy for the
Liverpool defender, claiming that Spain is a likelier destination.
The Italy international has been strongly linked with a move
away from Anfield in the winter transfer window, having failed to
live up to his £7million price tag since moving to Liverpool
from Udinese in 2008.
A return to Italy was seemingly on the cards with Napoli
favourites to sign the 28-year-old after narrowly missing out last
summer. Roma were also among the interested parties but Dossena now
looks set for a move to Spain, according to representative Federico
Pastorello.
"A move to Napoli is impossible," he told TuttoNapoli.net.
"The negotiations for a possible move for Dossena to Napoli are
over.
"I heard of an agreement between the parties but since
Christmas I have not heard from any Napoli director so the news is
without foundation.
"If I was to make a prediction I would say that Andrea will
not return to Italy.
"We are in negotiations with several foreign clubs, with a
very important Spanish club who are not in European competition -
the deal is even at an advanced stage. Roma? Difficult. Napoli
impossible."
