Reggina revelation Rolando Bianchi has spoken of his excitement at a possible move to Napoli.

After stunning the world of calcio with an 18-goal haul last term, the 24-year-old became a wanted man, with Juventus reportedly ready to challenge the Partenopei for his signature.

Bianchi delayed any decsion over his future while he went on holiday, prompting Press rumours that he had snubbed the Vesuviani’s advances, but is now back and keen to set the record straight.

“I read in lots of places that I wanted to join Juventus and that Napoli was just a fall-back option, but that’s not true at all” the ex-Atalanta youth explained.

“I’m not mad so I never thought about refusing the offer as it is a huge opportunity for me. I just haven’t had any direct contact with Napoli or Reggina – that’s why we have agents.”

Although no figure has officially been announced, the fee is expected to be somewhere in the region of £8m with the striker committing to the Stadio San Paolo for four years.
