Rafael Benitez targets Luis Suarez transfer with Edinson Cavanis Napoli exit imminent
Rafael Benitez is targeting a move for wantaway Liverpool striker Luis Suaerz, after officially beginning his post as Napoli manager.
The former Reds boss formally took the reins at the Serie A side yesterday and made Suarez his first transfer target, with star striker Edinson Cavani set to depart the club.
Suarez has made no secret of his desire to quit Anfield this summer, after the Uruguayan received a 10-match ban towards the end of last season for biting Chelseas Branislav Ivanovic, combined with his desire to play Champions League football.
His comments have led to interest from several clubs across Europe including Real Madrid, but it looks as though Napoli could join the hunt.
And Benitez is believed to be confident of landing the 26-year-old, with Reals cash supplies set to be hit hard with the anticipated acquisition of £53m Cavani, who is said to favour a move to the Barnabeu over Chelsea or Manchester City.
