His current contract expires in the summer of 2020 and it appears the 30-year-old has one eye on a move back to Serie A.

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, he said: "After PSG I don't know what will happen but if I want to change team I may choose to return to Napoli and then go back home.

"If one day I return to Napoli I would like to return in good shape.

"I had some very special moments in their blue jersey. I think it was the time when everything changed for me.

"As I always say, the credit wasn't just mine but also Mazzarri's. He wanted me there first and foremost.

"There were also my team-mates and the fans, who made me feel legendary. It's normal that you want to go back to where you were given so much and had such a beautiful time.

"Therefore I say we'll see at the end of my current contract which expires in 2020.

"I don't want to go back home when I will be too old, I would like to leave football at a high level, I wish."
