President Aurelio De Laurentiis expects Gonzalo Higuain to “play for Napoli for at least the next five years”.
The Partenopei striker was top-scorer in Serie A last season, and has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain or the English Premier League.
“How nice to see him scoring and celebrating as if he’s wearing the Napoli shirt,” De Laurentiis said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, when asked about Pipita’s goals for Argentina in the Copa America.

“How nice to see him scoring and celebrating as if he’s wearing the Napoli shirt,” De Laurentiis said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, when asked about Pipita’s goals for Argentina in the Copa America.
“He’s a champion, because he plays for the pleasure of scoring goals, a real striker who should be respected. If his words are sincere, he’ll play for Napoli for at least the next five years.
“I’m ready to extend his contract, I’m so fond of him as a man and as a player. I want Pipita to stay at Napoli forever.”
Marek Hamsik’s agent warned yesterday that his client could leave the Vesuviani in the summer, and De Laurentiis confirms a new contract is the aim.
“His agent has asked for a touch-up in his wages, but as a club we have a duty to respect the budget we decided on early in the season.
“At the moment I don’t want to distract Marek from his commitments with the [Slovakian] national team, so I’d tell him to stay calm.”
