Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says his side does not need to sign Ezequiel Lavezzi and Mario Balotelli in the January transfer window.

"What would be the use in buying them? We're fully covered in attack, and in a few months we'll have [Lorenzo] Insigne back too," De Laurentiis told Il Mattino.

"Let's not forget that Lavezzi makes €4.5 million a year and, above all else, that he was the one who wanted to leave Napoli in the first place.

"He made that decision in 2011, when we asked him to stay for another year. Then in 2012 he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.

"Sometimes the agents of the players amuse themselves by mentioning our names, but we have nothing to do with Lavezzi or Balotelli."
