During his media blitz, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis suggested they couldn’t sign new players because “they were afraid of never getting to play.”
The patron would appear to be setting the groundwork for Coach Maurizio Sarri’s exit, which could happen because the Chelsea and Arsenal target has a release clause in his contract.

“People reproach me for not doing much on the market, but the fans don’t see how the players are trained and used on a daily basis,” De Laurentiis told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We had to give Emanuele Giaccherini away because he was never taken into consideration and the same went for Nikola Maksimovic.
“Roberto Inglese could’ve come, but would he have played? He reached double figures for Chievo.”
Napoli did buy Inglese, but left him on loan at the Stadio Bentegodi for the rest of the season.
A bid was made in January to bring in Simone Verdi from Bologna, but the player sensationally refused.
“Verdi didn’t want to come, and yet we had made an incredible offer. He was afraid of never getting to play.”
