Napoli attacking midfielder Lorenzo Insigne has apparently told his agent that he would like to stay with the Serie A club "for life".
The 24-year-old has a contract with the club until 2019 but has been linked with a move to Arsenal, who are believed to be looking at renewing their interest in January.
However, his representatives have revealed to Radio Crc that the Italian international has no intention of leaving Naples.
The player's agent Antonio Ottaiano said: "His contract expires in 2019 and Lorenzo Insigne has repeatedly said that he wants to stay at Napoli for life.
"If all the prerequisites are in place for it to happen, the engagement will become a marriage. The club believes in Lorenzo, they consider him crucial to the future of Napoli.
"The big clubs saw Lorenzo as an exciting prospect at first, now they're probably casting admiring glances at him. They'll have to give up though, Lorenzo is a Napoli player until 2019, and not only is he happy, he wants to win in a blue shirt."
Insigne has played nine times in all competitions so far this season, scoring six goals which included the opener against Fiorentina last weekend.
