Ciro Immobile's agent hints at Napoli switch

The agent of Borussia Dortmund striker Ciro Immobile has hinted that his client would be interested in a move to Napoli.

Immobile has endured a frustrating season at Dortmund since his summer move from Torino and he has started just two of his club's last 10 games in all competitions.

"They said he'd sold his house in Dortmund," Marco Sommella told Radio CRC. "That's incorrect, because he never bought a house in Dortmund. A Neapolitan lad would never buy a house after six months, use your logic.

"On September 1 we'll know if Immobile will return to Italy. Two years ago Borussia Dortmund played in the Champions League final, no-one expected this slump but we'll make our evaluations at the end of the season.

"Ciro is an Italian international striker, and I think if he was on the market there would be some interested teams. Napoli? You'd have to ask [sporting director Riccardo] Bigon. It's too early for those kind of things, but we will say that Immobile is a neapolitan and a Napoli fan. We'll make certain assessments and proceed calmly."

Immobile has scored just three league goals for Dortmund this season.
