Kaka's only option to return to Italy is Napoli, claims former minister

The politician feels there is no place for the Brazilian at any of the other big teams in Serie A but the Partenopei, who are seeking reinforcements following Lavezzi's departure


Italian politician Clemente Mastella believes Napoli are the only realistic option for Kaka if he wants a return to Serie A.

The Real Madrid midfielder faces stiff competition for a starting berth at the Liga champions and has therefore been linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Nonetheless, Mastella, who served as minister of labour under Silvio Berlusconi from May 1994 until January 1995, feels the circumstances in the transfer market pave the way for Napoli to enter the fray.

"There is a chance that Kaka will go to Napoli," Mastella told Radio Kiss Kiss.

"Napoli have not yet spoken with Real Madrid, but it would be the best option for Kaka if he wants to return to Italy. 

"AC Milan don't have the money to sign him, Juventus would be impossible, and a move to Inter would be impractical, too."

The 30-year-old has made 93 appearances for the Blancos since his arrival three years ago, scoring 24 goals, and is under contract with the side until 2015.

Pastore's girlfriend leaks Lavezzi's move to Paris Saint-Germain on Twitter


The Argentine's girlfriend Chiara Picone has congratulated Lavezzi’s partner Yanina Screpante on the Napoli striker's move to the French capital via the social networking site

Ezequiel Lavezzi's Transfer; Confirmed by an Unlikely Source

Despite denials from the Parisians' coach Carlo Ancelotti, fellow Argentine and ex-Napoli stiker Roberto Sosa has leaked news of the signing to the press, while Javier Pastore’s girlfriend has also hinted the move has been completed on Twitter.

"Chatting to Lavezzi via text messages, I found out the news I hoped to the end I would not receive: the agreement with Paris Saint-Germain is done," Sosa told Sky Sport Italia.

"The rumours of the last few days were unfortunately true. It will be tough for Napoli to replace him."

Meantime, Pastore's girlfriend Chiara Picone congratulated Lavezzi's partner, Yanina Screpante, on their move to the French capital via the social networking platform.

"I'm happy you are coming to Paris. We're waiting for you and we'll spend some fun times together," she wrote.

Recent reports suggest a deal has been struck of around €27.5m plus performance-related bonuses and the profits from an August friendly match for the 27-year-old.

The Paris club faced stiff competition for the signature of Lavezzi as Inter had also set their sights on the Argentina international, but now seem to have lost out to the Ligue 1 runners-up.

The switch is expected to be finalised once the transfer window officially reopens on June 13.
