According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is so upset with players that everyone, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giovanni Di Lorenzo, will be free to leave in the summer if they are unhappy at the club.
The defending Serie A champions are having a terrible season, with only 49 points in 33 matches. They are at risk of not even qualifying for a European competition following Saturday’s 1-0 loss to strugglers Empoli and President De Laurentiis seems to be fed up with all his players.
Although the Partenopei won’t go into a punitive training retreat before next weekend’s game against Roma, ADL is prepared to sell the biggest stars at the end of the season.
Kvaratskhelia, Di Lorenzo and Napoli stars free to leave
According to Gazzetta, unhappy players will be free to leave in the summer transfer window as long as the club receives a suitable offer.
The report claims ADL no longer wants unhappy players at the club. The long negotiation to extend Osimhen’s contract in the first part of the season divided the dressing room, so ADL no longer wants a similar situation.
Even Kvaratskhelia, Stanislav Lobotka and Captain Di Lorenzo will be allowed to leave if they no longer want to stay at the Maradona. The same is true of Osimhen, who has a clause worth € 120m-130m, but the Partenopei have been prepared to part company with Nigeria for several months.
What a disaster this has come to from the lofty heights of last season. Its hard to believe the scale of the decline. Now to find out that the best players are being allowed to leave is a huge disappointment. It could be a long time before success returns to the club at this rate.
