Raul Meireles: Reports suggest he is a summer transfer target for Napoli

Raul Meireles: Reports suggest he is a summer transfer target for Napoli

Raul Meireles is reluctant to be drawn into a discussion regarding his future while he remains involved in Portugal's Euro 2012 campaign.

Speculation has suggested that the midfielder could be on his way out of Chelsea this summer.

Meireles has been a prominent figure for the Blues since moving to Stamford Bridge in 2011, and helped the club to UEFA Champions League glory last season.

He is, however, reported to be attracting interest from Serie A outfit Napoli and the Italian side have money to spend after agreeing to sell highly-rated playmaker Ezequiel Lavezzi to Paris St Germain.

They now have a creative void to fill and rumours suggest that enquiries have already been made to Meireles' agent.

The 29-year-old is refusing to be drawn on the issue for now, though, with his focus locked on Portugal's semi-final showdown with Spain on Wednesday.

"I am focused on the Euros and cannot think about my future now," said Meireles.
