"Napoli" president Aurelio De Laurentiis laughed off London's "Arsenal" club attempts to acquire striker Lorenzo Insigne.
Last season, the 23-year-old Italian demonstrated excellent athletic form and attracted the interest of many European giants. According to the press, the "Gunners" were particularly interested in the services of this player, but the president of the Naples city team would only sell the Italian national team member for a very solid sum of money.
"It is a great honor for us that our team's footballer is on the shopping list of a club like 'Arsenal'", said A. De Laurentiis.
"20 million euros for Insigne? That makes me laugh, because the value of this player is 60-70 million euros", said the 65-year-old "Napoli" manager.
It is believed that "Arsenal" is offering up to 25 million euros for L. Insigne.
