“I have the greatest respect for the horseteeth family, an important family, and at this point in time I don’t want to reveal anything about the talks,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“I’m hopeful. But what I can say is that we are not talking about an 80 per cent share of the club, absolutely not.
“Furthermore, I would not allow myself to present a list of directors to be brought into the club. I heard rumours of Leonardo, but that is not true.
“I also don’t want to interfere with transfer market choices.
“We’re working on a general agreement and I will respect the timescale of the horseteeth family.”

Its going to be a very exciting year.
The competition will become fierce with the heavy investments made by Napoli and fiorentina.
Milan clubs will keep suffering but add to prestige nonetheless.
We ares till on pole for the tittle, with excellent first team and depth choices, significantly upgrading our greatest weaknesses.
EPL has lost monentum.
I cant wait!

"He's coming off a very strong and competitive. It is spending so much but the accounts of Naples remain healthy and this is the right way to excel in Italy and Europe. Gonzalo Higuain has got to make a cut to the leg this morning during the conference of Benitez, they have been good to hide from the cameras and move with peace of mind. Fans are also concerned here in Dimaro, but there is nothing to fear : Higuain is a player of Naples and soon will wear the blue shirt "

Yeah, thats a radio analyst who is offcourse talking out of his ass.

What he is saying is "napoli have 63mil, and spend just over half of that, they got plenty left, they also arent making big depts like lazio roma back around 00's".


What he isnt saying cause he is a dumb sack of cock, is that napoli now lost its big sale guy. Higuain isnt gonna sell later in his career for as much as cavani. thing is, napoli now have to increase wages, and take a risk on the long term, by making a jump.
They are healthy now, but wages run for years, and the major thing is, once they have to replace higuain, they'll got alot less to spend then now.

Basically, to sustain themselves as the number 2 in italy, napoli have to hope higuain is about as succesfull as cavani was, that they have good CL campaigns, and can reach the turnovers that a healthy milan and inter, used to pull.

THAT is going to be the big task

- - - Updated - - -

adding to that. what usually happens is that a team like napoli, takes the riskless path and strenghtens the team, and try to slowly grow. Napoli is taking a big shortcut, and they can only maintain this level of quality, and hope to equal juve's spending, IF they can massively increase their turnover.
Wich imo, is gonna be pretty hard.

All it takes, is milan and inter to get new owners, to restore them in their former glory. 1 cash injection in those teams, and they are pulling their weight again, cause they allready are established, they got that fanbase and worldwide connection.

This is why juve has allways been top in italy, along with milan in europe/italy, and inter comming third.

Roma,lazo,fiorentina, sampdoria, now napoli. the all got their time to shine, but eventually, you cannot live 10 years from that one big signing. you need to make enough turnover to become sustainable

and this is why juventus have such a massive leap over the others.

And this is why Juve, Milan and Inter will always dominate in Italy. Other clubs can have short term flashes but permanently only those 3 clubs will have continuity in some way. I've seen Parma competing for title, Fiorentina as well, Lazio and Roma both winning one but they can't maintain that level for too long. Having large fan base is the most important thing. It's something that can't be changed in a short period of time. We were outsiders for 6 years, 2 years in a row finished 7th but relative number of our fans in Italy didn't decrease in that period.

As for Napoli the investments they made so far will cause them significant amortization costs and of course wages on top of that. CL money will cover it for this year but from now on they' ll be under pressure to qualify for CL on a regular basis or some players will have to go. Not just that they won't be able to afford them but players like Higuain won't sacrifice their career only to play in EL or worse to be left out of European competitions. They made some illogical choices in this mercato.

He's had a look around the office, turns out all the downers are gone, so he's moved onto popping uppers

Nothing stopping Gervinho joining Roma next week.

Roma having a strange month.

There are suggestions that Napoli could move to Nike as their kit sponsor once their contract with Macron expires considering they have this issue over the image rights with Higuain.

Doubt it unless our contract with Nike is over and we're switching to Adidas.

Nike already have us, inter and Roma.

What? 4 clubs is hardly a monopoly that would be deemed to be anti competitive under arts 101-102 of the TFEU, so why not?

Galliani meeting for Ola John, Benfica own half of the player.

I just dont think Nike is going to be the shirt supplier of four teams top teams with a huge fan base in any of the major leagues in Europe. I could be wrong though, usually another brand steps in with a sweet deal if that's going to happen

Good player though, but I wonder what will happen with Sharaawy since John is a RW.
