Napoli striker Ezequiel Lavezzi has refused to distance himself with a move away from the club, having been linked with both Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Argentine, who will feature for his country in next month’s Copa America, insists that his future may lie away from the Serie A side.

“I have never been a dreamer. In my life, I have always set myself goals – many goals to reach. I am someone, who organises his future,” he told La Naicon.

“I take each day as it comes and enjoy every moment. My next goal after Napoli is to play in a great team.”

Meanwhile, the attacker denies that he bears a grudge against his former national team boss, Diego Maradona, who left out the forward from Argentina’s final 23-man squad for last summer’s World Cup in South Africa.

“Maradona as a coach? It was always very good from my point of view. He helped me a lot, even with a personal problem,” he added.

“I have no resentment towards him because what he did for me off the field. That was more important than selecting me for the World Cup in South Africa.”
