Napoli: De Laurentiis, broadsides Giuntoli and expiring players. Announcement on Osimhen

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis at the press conference to present the new 2023/24 jersey sent a jibe at Cristiano Giuntoli, the new Juventus ds who confessed that he has always supported the Bianconeri. “Juventinity? I didn’t expect it, it took me by surprise. Had I known I would have gotten rid of it sooner. Now we have no Juventini in our clan.”

On Osimhen’s future: “Him in this shirt? Absolutely yes! Then if a more than indecent offer comes in we will get over it and be able to scout others like Kvara and Osimhen.”

The Azzurri patron also spoke about the players expiring in 2024, not sparing any more broadsides: “We already have a list of actions to be taken and we know there are also players who have come to the end of their journey because they are a year away from expiration. Then there I have to decide whether to train them during the training period or not to train them to force them to find other shores. I do not want to be mean to anyone, however, these gentlemen are in the grip of ravenous agents whose activity is stupid, ineffective.”

“If they are okay with that I don’t need anyone, I can even pay them out-of-pocket. But after a year without having played maybe their stock will be worth less, maybe the ambition to play for a team of Napoli’s level will not manifest itself. Then looking in the mirror you will say ‘I was a poor fool’.”

Players expiring in 2024 include Meret, Rrahmani, Demme, Zielinski, and Lozano.
