“I believe that Napoli have gained a lot of things this year and amongst them is taking a player of the quality of Callejon from Real Madrid,” Maradona told N+ this week in a message relayed to the player during an interview.
“This is something that happens once in 100 years. He has made the right choice and is having a wonderful time.
“We Neapolitans are delighted that Real Madrid have made a mistake, preferring someone else.”
