Germán Gustavo Denis

Napoli forward German Denis has been linked with a move to Livorno over the winter transfer window, but his agent, Leo Rodriguez, knows little of this.

Instead, Rodriguez has stated that his client will only move away from the Azzurri if he can be guaranteed a starting position on the team he goes to. Currently at the Partenopei, Denis is behind strikers Ezequiel Lavezzi and Fabio Quagliarella in the pecking order, being preferred as a substitute option.

"I don't know anything about Livorno wanting my client," the agent told TuttoNapoli.net.

"I am here in Italy to see Denis.

"What he is asking for is a place in the starting 11.

"It is difficult for a player to come in with 10 minutes to go, and be of great impact.

"He is a decisive player, who has faith in his abilities.

"Every time he plays, he changes the game. For example, against Juventus, his entry helped create six dangerous shots on goal," Rodriguez concluded.

Denis was being monitored by Marseille and Benfica over the past summer, but no deal was able to be struck.

Napoli take on Lazio this weekend when the league resumes.
