Turin, 22 Oct. (LaPresse) – “Napoli is not for sale. I didn’t know how to play football and I learned and I think I know how to play it quite well, in an old football that should be revisited and freed from the yoke of those who don’t have teams and lead us by the hand day after day.” This was stated by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis in an interview with Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, denying rumors that some funds were interested in the Campania club. “At one point, about a year ago, I received a meeting request from Matt Rizzetta, whom I didn’t know, and I did the meeting out of politeness. He introduces me to a couple of funds that he represented and they wanted to buy Napoli – he explained – In the end, I to see and test the value of Napoli, it happened until February-March, we put their and our lawyers to confront each other. I said, ‘Sorry, before I gave any real value, I made my administrative staff available to him for due diligence, but it never started, because it’s the first thing you do. Due diligence is a habitual fact, but it never began.’ I was really enjoying this and wanted to understand how far it was going. Speaking of figures, the film entrepreneur explained that “in the end, this figure of 2.26 billion wanted to pay part of it at the signing and part in installments over three years.” As for the next objectives, “I want to build the stadium. It will also be a great physical commitment. It will have to be done to create a reality that does not exist today – he continued – Rizzetta would have accepted the Maradona. At Maradona it would be useful to make a large park, fill it with greenery, since that too is an area that tellurically has problems.”
