The agent of Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has claimed that his client could move to Napoli when the transfer window opens.

Lucas’ chances at Anfield have been limited since Steven Gerrard converted to a holding midfield role last season and reports over the summer claimed that ex-Reds boss Rafa Benitez wanted the 27-year-old in Naples.

With the transfer window set to open in the New Year, Lucas’ representative Henrique Coelho has hinted that he may be forced to leave Anfield.

Coelho is quoted as saying by The Mirror: ‘Is it possible that Lucas could leave Liverpool in January? Yes, naturally.

‘Lucas likes Rafael Benitez a lot. After all, the two know each other well from when the Spaniard was coaching Liverpool.’
