Napoli forward Hirving Lozano said he wants a move to ‘a bigger club’ after ‘improving’ with the Partenopei. ‘I’m very competitive’.
The Mexico international spoke about his future after the nation’s second consecutive defeat in the World Cup Qualifiers.
Canada picked up a 2-1 win over the Mexicans, when Lozano was replaced at half-time by Roberto Carlos Alvarado Hernandez.
“I think I play in a very competitive club, with very good teammates, I have grown a lot due to this,” Lozano told TV Azteca Deportes.
“The truth is, I would love to play at a bigger club. I consider myself a very competitive player, with clear goals.
“I feel I’m at a good level and I would like to take this new step. However, let’s take one step at a time. Now, I must improve as much as possible, both personally and as a player.
“Then I hope that, God willing, it can happen.”
Lozano, who turned 26 in July, arrived from PSV Eindhoven in August 2019, when the Partenopei reportedly paid €35m to secure his signature.
His contract with the Azzurri expires in June 2024 and the winger has established himself as an important player at the Stadio Diego Maradona.
Lozano has played 93 competitive games with the club, contributing 23 goals and nine assists in the process, appearing 12 times in Serie A this term.
