Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola says that the Manchester United forward has "always been in love with the city of Naples," although a move to the Serie A club is unlikely for as long as Maurizio Sarri is their coach.
Raiola claimed in September that Ibrahimovic wished to end his career at Napoli and he has now told Italy's Radio CRC that he still harbours that ambition.
Raiola says he would not advise such a move now, though, making an example of the way Sarri has dealt with Omar El Kaddouri to illustrate why it would be a doomed relationship.
"Zlatan has always been in love with the city of Naples and [Napoli president Aurelio] De Laurentiis has got to know him, but if Sarri were to behave with Ibra the way he has behaved with El Kaddouri, then it would be better if he just took a nice boat and went fishing," Raiola said.
El Kaddouri completed a move to Empoli from Napoli on transfer deadline day, after being overlooked by Sarri ever since he joined the Campania club.
"If El Kaddouri has not been playing for Napoli, the only person guilty for it is Sarri," he said. "He was not a gentleman with him. He never picked him in his Champions League squad and he would tell him that he would play if he renewed his contract, but the contract renewal never arrived.
"We are not glad to be free from Napoli, but we are glad to be free from Sarri, who never believed in the lad. At this point, El Kaddouri has taken a cut in wages because he prefers to be playing for Empoli."
