Napoli attacker Dries Mertens has revealed talks with Chelsea.
Mertens signed a new three-year deal with Napoli side last week and said the addition of a buyout clause in his contract should not be seen as a possible get out in the near future.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "Yes there was interest [from Chelsea], and from other clubs also, but in my head there was never an intention to change clubs.
"This season was really good. I am going to try and be even better next year.
"Yes there is a buyout clause. But I'm happy at Napoli and I want to stay. I really like Italy. I am good there and they treat me good."
