Fiorentina midfielder Barak reveals January Napoli contact

Fiorentina midfielder Antonin Barak has revealed a January move to Napoli was close.

However, the Czech Republic international says he's happy in Florence.

He said at his Czech Republic media conference: "In January I also consulted with the technical staff of the national team. I was looking for the best solution for me, to be able to play.

"There were some teams interested, the one that was most serious was Napoli, but then in the end it didn't work out. But today I'm happy I stayed.

"Fiorentina has shown that they still have faith in me."
