Napoli look to have finally resolved their stadium woes after striking a two-year deal with the local council.
The club had threatened to leave the Stadio San Paolo and set up shop elsewhere following months of fraught negotiations.
On Friday night a council meeting finally approved the two-year temporary deal for Napoli to control the stadium.
The club will pay from €650,000 to €780,000 per year, plus €3,500 per match advertising tariffs and around €5,000 per game to help fund public transport around evening kick-offs.

The plan is to eventually restructure the Stadio San Paolo and make it a modern venue, but just getting this temporary deal to control the stadium has been mired in political in-fighting and controversy.
In Italy almost all the clubs rent stadiums from the local councils, though exceptions are Juventus, Sassuolo and now also Udinese.
