Ciro Immobile has joined Sevilla, but the striker’s agent admits his client wanted to play for Napoli.
The Italian international endured a torrid season at Borussia Dortmund, and dropped several hints that he’d like to move to the Partenopei.
However, a deal could not be done, and the former Torino striker will instead continue his career in La Liga.

“We’re happy to be at Sevilla,” Marco Sommella told Radio Marte.
“Sevilla have won the Europa League twice, and are now in the Champions League, which makes you realise how important this decision is.
“Ciro, however, to tell you the truth, has talked about his bond with Napoli several times, but those sentiments were clearly not shared by the Partenopei.
“There’s no desire to stir up controversy, everyone makes their own choices. We’re talking about an Italian international striker, who is from Naples by the way, so it would have been a nice thing.”
