Bernd Leno confirms “Napoli wanted me” in the summer, but the Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper doesn’t know what will happen this year.
The Partenopei expected Pepe Reina to leave last summer, so were looking at both the German and Geronimo Rulli of Real Sociedad.
Reina ultimately decided to stay for the final year of his contract, but he’ll leave at the end of this season, almost certainly to join Milan, so the Neapolitans will need a replacement for next season.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen this summer,” Leno admitted, speaking to fussball.news.
“Everyone knows that I feel at ease here though, I identify with this club and I’ve been here for seven years, I don’t necessarily want to leave Bayer.
“It’s an honour to be linked with great clubs like Napoli.
“Last summer? Napoli wanted me, but the club didn’t want to let me go.”
