Graziano Pellè could’ve joined Napoli rather than Southampton this summer, revealed the Italy striker’s agent.

Pellè scored the winner against Malta on Monday in his senior Azzurri debut, having impressed this term with the Saints.

“During the summer there was a discussion with Napoli about Pellè, but my client had many offers from all over Europe,” agent Romualdo Corvino told Radio Crc.
“At Napoli he would’ve been the reserve for Gonzalo Higuain. Napoli is a great club and Pellè always speaks highly of them, as all players would love to wear the Partenopei jersey.

“In football you can never say never, so we cannot rule out a future for Pellè at the Stadio San Paolo.”
