Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis acknowledged there’s the danger of losing his Coach.
“We have set a meeting for February 9. Obviously, I can’t force Sarri to stay, but if he were to leave, he’d be missing out on a series of projects.
“We’re preparing Casa Napoli, our new training centre, maybe even a new stadium. In any case, I doubt Maurizio is passing through, as he’s a very ethical man.
“There is a release clause worth €8m, though I’d gladly remove it.”
