Napoli has dismissed reports that they have interest in a €12.5 million transfer for Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli went from A.C. Milan to Liverpool this past summer, but he's scored just twice so far.

"They're speaking about Balotelli in Spain, England and Italy but it's not a possibility. Nothing of what has been said is true," said sporting director Riccardo Bigon.

"It's not a feasible line. I don't think this is a real story, though the fact is that Mario remains a great player.

"The boy has just been bought by Liverpool and given what their coach is saying, he's an investment for the future of the club.

"We can only wish Mario all the best on his English adventure."
