Reports in both Italy and England suggest that the billionaire club are ready to throw a suitcase at Napoli director Pierpaolo Marino in an attempt to convince him to part-company with his star man.

The transfer Guru said there was no chance of that happening and now El Pocho has backed him up by revealing he has no intention of swapping Naples for London.

"Chelsea? They are not in my plans," Lavezzi told Positano News.

"I am enjoying the sun and life here in Campania. I have nothing against London or England but here it's marvelous."

The English side are keen on the hit-man and saw him as an interim replacemement for injured striker Didier Drogba.

However, Lavezzi is loved by club and fans. Always being described as the new 'Maradona', it's highly unlikely that the player will be released from the shackles in the port city.
