The Serie A midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to the Premier League, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all reportedly interested due to his impressive performances under Rafa Benitez.
However the 27 year-old has spoke about his happiness to be with the club and he could remain at the club despite refusing to rule out a move away from the Stadio San Paolo.
He said: “It is possible that I can stay at Napoli for my entire career, I am happy here but in football you never know.
“As long as I am happy and I feel important I will stay here because I have no reason to change.
“Each day I hear from the fans talk of the Scudetto – we have to try at all costs, but no-one will know if we can succeed – we have to wait.”
