"Napoli's" owner revealed that the team rejected a lucrative €55 million offer for Uruguayan national team forward Edinson Cavani. The football player has scored 13 goals this season in the "Serie A" championship, trailing just one goal behind "Milan" forward Stephano El Shaarawy, who has 14 goals to his name. Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis insists that the excellent form of the Uruguayan had a significant impact on Napoli's recent performances and claims that E.Cavani will remain at the club despite massive interest from major European clubs. "Cavani is a warrior who embodies the entire spirit and dedication of Napoli and its fans. That's why we rejected the €55 million offer. Edinson has become a symbol of our rebirth," said A. De Laurentiis. Currently, Napoli sits in 5th place in the league standings after 18 matches, trailing the league leaders Juventus by ten points.
