Gonzalo Higuain declined to comment on reports of a move to Chelsea on his return to Italy in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Higuain was returning from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where he came off the bench in Wednesday night's Supercoppa Italiana loss to parent club Juventus.
According to Sky in Italy, Chelsea have agreed a deal with parent club Juventus to sign Higuain on loan until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old Argentine striker is set for a reunion with Maurizio Sarri after their stint at Napoli together.
Higuain told Italian media who met him on his arrival at Milan's Malpensa airport: "If you are looking for troubles, you won't find them with me."
