Naples, the words of Manna
The beginning of January will be: zero balance.
“To include a player you need to make room in the squad on an economic level. For us it’s a paradox, due to the net worth and the solidity we have. The president and the CEO Chiavelli are working on it, we are confident: they are the ones who have brought the club to certain levels.”
What should we expect, concretely, on the market?
“We would like to reward the work of Conte and the players by improving the level of the team without breaking the balance: I don’t know if we will succeed, but we will try. January is always risky, last year we sold the most important player and perhaps we haven’t replaced him adequately yet.”
In which department do you plan interventions?
“The returns of Anguissa and Gilmour are closer, while Lukaku and De Bruyne are a question mark: therefore, we would like to raise the quality especially in the offensive department. We are making evaluations.”
Here it is, Frank: both he and Rrahmani have been discussing the renewal for some time.
“Everyone has needs, but we certainly want to continue with them: they can represent the centrality of Napoli around which to build and rejuvenate.”
Spinazzola and Juan Jesus are also out of contract.
“We will be addressing these discussions from March.”
Can Lucca leave Napoli in January?
“We need to try to improve the team and not make it worse, but the scenarios are all open. Let’s see, also because having to operate with a zero balance we have to be attentive to any possible opportunity.”
Is the loan exchange with Roma between Lucca and Dovbyk possible?
“It’s not a viable option at the moment.”
In which department do you plan interventions?
“The returns of Anguissa and Gilmour are closer, while Lukaku and De Bruyne are a question mark: therefore, we would like to raise the quality especially in the offensive department. We are making evaluations.”
Earlier you mentioned De Bruyne: how is he?
“He will return to Naples after mid-January to begin the re-athleticization phase.”
Return times?
“It wouldn’t be correct to indicate them: with Romelu we had an idea, but then we need to understand how the body reacts even at a certain age. At the moment we operate as if they weren’t there: the next ones to return are Gilmour and Anguissa, we hope to have other surprises.”
Can the market also involve Lang?
“He comes from a different reality and it took him some time, but he played good games. We expect and want more from him, but we haven’t made decisions a priori: the players must be happy and involved, and believe in what they are doing. The group comes before the individual: if they understand it, it’s good, otherwise we’ll make choices based on the moment.”
Do you like Norton-Cuffy?
“Good footballer, he has strength. There are many good ones.”
Lecture?
“In perspective, he is the strongest right-back there is. Important young players are starting to emerge on whom to build Italy’s future: Pio Esposito is destined for great things. And there is Leoni.”
