Marino: No Hamsik talks
Wednesday 28 November, 2007
Napoli sporting director Pierpaolo Marino insists that Marek Hamsik will not be joining Juventus, contrary to Press reports.
The Slovak midfield star has reportedly caught the Old Lady’s eye with his performances since joining the Partenopei from Brescia in pre-season.
Tuttosport reported that Juve were ready to table a part exchange deal involving Marcelo Zalayeta to try and lure Hamsik, but Marino is adamant that no talks are scheduled.
“Nobody is touching Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi or Walter Gargano,” he stated on Radio Kiss Kiss.
“I have an excellent relationship with my Juve counterpart Alessio Secco, but everything that has been written in the newspapers is without grounds.
“There is no meeting with the Bianconeri and they are just another club who might be interested in our players.
“Co-ownership deals will be resolved in June and we hope that our lads will grow here and after five years will renew and continue to grow.”
There have also been rumours that striker Emanuele Calaiò and midfielder Samuele Dalla Bona are looking to jump ship.
“To Calaiò I would say that he shouldn’t be upset because he isn’t being picked every week as just playing for Napoli should be an honour, even if it’s just a few minutes.
“We thought we were going to sell Dalla Bona to Birmingham in the summer, but he refused the transfer. It’s good if he plays and we will try and give him a hand in January.”
