Napoli forward Hirving Lozano has said that he is happy at the club and hopes to stay there for a long time.
The Mexico international recently said that he wanted to play for a bigger club, which hinted that he might leave Naples soon. However, Lozano has said that his words were taken out of context and that he is happy at Napoli.
The 26-year-old wrote on Instagram: “Sometimes, my words can be taken from the real context and someone with the desire other than to make the correct interpretation willingly or unwillingly misrepresents them. It is not my intention to clarify or retract something that I did not say.
“I am more interested in the fact that the facts speak for themselves. These are the facts: I live in Naples, my children grow up, learn and make friends in Naples, my wife’s friends are Neapolitans, my neighbors and friends are Neapolitans, the best moments of my recent life have passed in Naples.
“I owe it to the Napoli fans and I find in their loyalty enough reason to leave soul, life and heart on the pitch every time I wear the Napoli shirt.
“Today I play for Napoli and while I do it, which I hope will be for a long time, I will not do it simply because it is a football team, I will do it because Napoli is where I live and where I am happy, it is my home and I will defend it at all costs.”
Lozano has made 16 appearances for Napoli this season, scoring three goals while providing two assists. The Partenopei have had an impressive Serie A campaign so far as they are at the top of the table, having not lost a single game so far.
