Napoli fans made their feelings clear with a large banner warning players are welcome to leave ‘with dignity’ if they lack ‘pride, ambition and respect’ for this club.
The Partenopei won the Scudetto last season for the first time in over 30 years and the celebrations went on for months.
However, this has been a disastrous campaign so far, despite only really losing coach Luciano Spalletti and defender Kim Min-jae.
Rudi Garcia was sacked and replaced by Walter Mazzarri, but with little improvement, as they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia with a 4-0 home defeat to Frosinone and are mid-table in Serie A.
Ahead of this afternoon’s match with local rivals Salernitana, Napoli supporters held up a large banner in the Curva with a strong message.
‘Those who don’t feel ready for this should salute us with dignity, we only want those who have pride, ambition and respect for the city.’
It comes amid reports Piotr Zielinski is refusing to sign a new contract and will join Inter next summer as a free agent.
"Chi non se la sente ci saluti con dignità, vogliamo solo chi ha orgoglio, ambizione e rispetto per la città" 🏟️
