Christian Maggio is hopeful of convincing team-mate Edinson Cavani to stay at Napoli for another season amid strong interest from Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
The
Uruguay international recently voiced his frustration with Napoli's €63
million asking price following Aurelio De Laurentiis' comments that
interested clubs will have to meet his buy-out clause and demanded
face-to-face talks with the club president once he returns from his
holiday after the Confederations Cup.
Nevertheless, Maggio is refusing to give up on the prolific attacker and wants Cavani to stay put.
"We
have not spoken to each other recently. There has simply not been any
time. But we will have a calm and relaxed talk about his situation,"
Maggio told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I don't know yet
when we will meet, but we have always had a good relationship. I will
try to convince him to stay put. It's then up to him to make a decision,
but I obviously want him to stay at Napoli."
The 26-year-old Cavani's current Napoli deal is due to expire in the summer of 2017.
