Dossena agent expects Napoli switch

Andrea Dossena's agent expects the Liverpool defender to join Napoli this summer with both the player and Serie A side willing to do business.

Dossena endured a tough time during his debut season with Liverpool despite scoring goals in the thumping wins over Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The left-back otherwise struggled to make an impact as the speed and physical nature of the Premier League at times overwhelmed the Italian international.

The £7 million signing from Udinese is thought to be seeking a move back to his homeland in order to re-establish himself as Marcelo Lippi's first choice left back for the Italian national side.

Dossena's agent Roberto La Florio is eager to finalise a deal and says a move to Napoli would suit all parties involved.

"There is the will to join Napoli. Napoli want Dossena, and should they follow him, it means they are ready to satisfy the player's exigencies," La Florio told Italian radio station Kiss Kiss.

"Now they must decide, because they may need Andrea due to Fabio Aurelio's injury. The two parts must meet to find an agreement."
