Napoli President: I had received an unbelievable offer to sell the club © AFP

“Napoli” team president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke about the incredible offer he received and the football troubles in his country.

“Italy is the most beautiful, but at the same time the most ruthless country in the world. This happened because of the mafia.

We are lagging behind not only England, but also Germany and Spain for decades.

We have problems with the construction of new stadiums.

Football could become the driving force that would determine the construction of arenas throughout Italy.

For example, a year ago I received an offer of 2.5 billion euros to sell the “Napoli” team and then I asked myself: “Do I need so much money?”

“I see no reason to sell the team, unless our family gets tired of it”, - said A. De Laurentiis.
