Matteo Politano wants to leave Napoli because he ‘doesn’t feel there is faith in him’ from the club or coach Luciano Spalletti, said his agent.
The Italy international winger is eager to move on from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona after dropping down the pecking order under Spalletti.
“We had a meeting with Spalletti and director Giuntoli, because the player doesn’t feel there is the same faith in him that there was before,” agent Mario Giuffredi told Radio Marte.
“If some offers were to come in, Politano would take them into consideration. If they don’t arrive, then he will remain at Napoli with the right mentality.”
There have already been suggestions Politano could reunite with former Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso at Valencia.
“Gattuso admires him and it’s a fine club, but he could also remain in Italy.”
Politano turns 29 in August and plays on the right wing of a trident attack.
He is under contract with Napoli until June 2024 and this season contributed five goals and seven assists in 39 competitive games.
A product of the Roma youth academy, he also represented Perugia, Pescara, Sassuolo and Inter before joining Napoli in January 2020.
That deal was initially a loan for €2.5m with option to buy for a further €21m.
Napoli are completely revamping their attack, with Lorenzo Insigne joining Toronto FC as a free agent and Dries Mertens seemingly not signing a new contract either.
