Atalanta manager Enrico Fedele has made it clear that Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman will not be joining a Serie A rival, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Lookman has been linked with a move away from the Gewiss Stadium at the end of the season, with top clubs like Napoli and Juventus showing interest in his services.

However, Fedele dismissed any possibility of the winger joining Napoli.

"Lookman to Napoli? No, there’s no chance this deal will happen. I don’t see why these rumours keep spreading," Fedele said on Tele A’s Fuorigioco program, as quoted by Area Napoli.

"I’ve been in football for about fifty years and built many relationships. I can tell you that Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, is targeting another player—Solet. Trust me, he’s really strong, very strong."
