Hirving Lozano will join either Everton or Manchester United next summer, according to the Mexican winger's former agent.
The 27-year-old Mexico international has been plying his trade with Napoli since 2019 and will have one year left to run on his current contract at the end of this season.
Lozano's now ex-agent Alessandro Monfrecola claims that a move to United could have already materialised but Frank Lampard's team is a realistic possibility, even thought the player himself is believed to prefer a move to one of the Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Speaking Gonfia la Rete, Monfrecola said: “Next June, Lozano will leave in my opinion, also because he earns over four million at Napoli. Although he is delighted to be here, he has never hidden that he aspired to the top English clubs, although now he is probably realising that Napoli itself is a top club.
“He has never hidden that he loves Barcelona and Real Madrid, but unless (Carlo) Ancelotti falls in love with him again, he has no market. I think he could land in Manchester United or Everton. This does not exclude that other English teams could enter the negotiation. My personal prediction is that he will leave in June, but he is very happy here.”
Lozano has made seven Serie A appearances for table-toppers Napoli this season, but is yet to score a goal and has one assist. Having signed from PSV Eindhoven for €42million in 2019, he has gone on to make 126 appearances for Luciano Spalletti's side, finding the net 26 times.
