“The offer wasn’t really given a lot of consideration. Everton might even go above €4m net in salary.
“If you look at the financial aspect, that’s the right move, but in terms of career I’d choose Napoli every time, even putting the Champions League to one side.
“Napoli are an ambitious club, they’re growing every year, always taking more important players. Everton don’t seem like a great team.
“I don’t know exactly what the situation is, in my opinion he wants to take his time because he’s not yet convinced about what to do.
“He can either accept the English club or wait for an even bigger club."
