Raheem Sterling's 'significant financial expectations' make a move to Napoli hard to envisage, according to the club's sporting director Giovanni Manna. Napoli are one of the clubs that have previously shown an interest in the winger and Manna says they held talks with Sterling over the summer. However, Napoli's sporting director does not expect the 31-year-old to join Antonio Conte's side because of his wage demands. Speaking to Sky in Italy before Napoli's Champions League game against Chelsea, Manna said: 'Raheem is very good, but he hasn't been playing for a long time. 'We thank Raheem for the contribution he made while a Chelsea player and wish him well for the next stage in his career.'
