Internacional have revealed they have rejected an €18m offer from Napoli for striker Leandro Damião.
Club directors confessed they rejected a verbal offer for the Seleção international from the Italian club, reports Football Italia.
Napoli have been linked with the striker, who is also a target for Southampton and Inter, as a replacement for PSG bound Edinson Cavani.
“We received an €18m verbal offer from Napoli, according to the player’s agent,” director of football Luis Cesar Souto de Moura told Lancenet.
“We don’t accept that this is Leandro Damião’s value. We are certain he will play the 2014 World Cup with Brazil’s national team.
“We have not had any talks about setting a value as we don’t intend to sell the player. The offer that was presented to us was lower than what he is worth.”
It has until now been suggested Internacional would release Damião for €20m.
