Antonio Di Natale has no intention of leaving Udinese for Juventus

Antonio Di Natale is committed to Udinese "for life" after shrugging off renewed interest from Serie A champions Juventus.

The 35-year-old striker has scored 158 league goals in a prolific nine-year spell with Udinese, hitting the target 23 times last season to finish six goals behind top scorer Edinson Cavani of Napoli.

His final-day strike in a 5-2 victory at Inter Milan confirmed his side's qualification for the Europa League for another year.

Juve are eager to strengthen their forward line and, having already secured Spanish striker Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao, the Bianconeri are reportedly preparing a fresh approach for Di Natale.

Di Natale rejected a move to Turin in 2010 and the chance to further establish himself as an icon in Udine means the answer will remain the same this summer.

"I think that what I've done with Udinese will go down in the history of the club," he told fifa.com. "I don't see that as something insignificant.

"The truth is that I've found my natural home in Friuli and I've never thought about leaving a team, a town and a family - the Pozzos [Giampaolo Pozzo is Udinese's president] - who have adopted me like a son.

"I miss Naples and I'm proud to be Neapolitan, but Udine is like a second home for me. I'm feeling great here and I feel the love from the fans. When Juventus contacted me, I told their president [Andrea Agnelli] that I wanted to stay here. That's how we decided that I'd stay here for life.

"There isn't too much pressure here. You can lose a few games and still be able to work in peace. The results speak for that approach. Everyone does their job well - the players, the coach and the club."

Napoli tried to sign Roma duo Erik Lamela and Marquinhos, says president

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed how he tried to bring Roma duo Erik Lamela and Marquinhos to the Serie A side.

Striker Lamela scored 15 goals in 33 games last season, while teenage centre-half Marquinhos has attracted interest from Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Roma are part-owned by Italian bank Unicredit and De Laurentiis says he went straight to them to enquire about the highly-rated pair.

"I contacted Unicredit directly for Lamela and Marquinhos. I offered them 40million euros (£34.1m)," he told Football Italia.

"Instead, they offered me the services of Pablo Daniel Osvaldo at all costs, but seeing as we have Edinson Cavani right now, we don't need him.

"However, at this moment in time, I'm no longer convinced by Lamela and Marquinhos. I've noted that there are other strong players around who are cheaper."

Edinson Cavani open to playing for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho

Napoli striker Edinson Cavani has told Sky Sports it would be a pleasure to play under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

Cavani, who scored against the Blues for Napoli in the UEFA Champions League last year, reportedly has a £53m buy-out clause, but that hasn't stopped him from being linked with Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris St-Germain.

The Uruguay international is currently preparing for the Confederations Cup in Brazil, where he discussed his future.

When asked about the interest of Chelsea and Manchester City, he said: "I don't know if they made an offer for me, I just know that to be coached by someone like Manuel Pellegrini or Jose Mourinho would always be a pleasure.

"And when the time is right it would be great to play for one of these teams, because when I was a child I imagined doing it - but now I am only thinking about Uruguay. In my career I have always had to deal with rumours of me signing for another team and I just have to keep my feet on the ground."

Cavani also talked about working with new Napoli manager Rafa Benitez.

"I don't know, I think there are other factors that could change my future. I have a contract with Napoli but on the other hand there are some conversations but everything is uncertain at the moment," he continued.

"What I know is that I belong to Napoli, that I'm thinking about my national team because we have a very difficult qualifying game and we also have a difficult tournament [Confederations Cup] to deal with and after all these commitments I'll think about what is going to happen."

Cavani was also asked about his international team-mate Luis Suarez, who is looking to quit Liverpool and the Premier League.

"It depends on many things. I think that English football fits him very well because it is the kind of play that he likes but at the end it is about a personal decision," he said.

He also defended Suarez, who is currently banned in England for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.

"These things happen in life when you are on the pitch you are really excited and you have to deal with some situations you are not used to," he said.

"It's not fair to judge a person for one thing on the pitch when there is a match going on and you are extra excited and sometimes you make a mistake.

"The most important thing is that he has recognised he has made a mistake.

"He is the only person who knows where he will play, I don't know what my future will be so I can only guess about another people."
