The Uruguayan is key to the club's title hopes and they are keen to keep him in Naples.

"Cavani is a warrior who embodies all that's best of the Napoli spirit and our supporters. It is because of this I turned down an offer of 55 million", De Laurentiis told Radio Marte.

"Cavani has become the symbol of our resurgence. If I have kept him here it is not because of money, but a love for the club."
