The 25-year-old added that it would be a dream for him to play at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
“For an Argentine, to play for Napoli is always special,” Fernandez told Fox Sports. “It’s not just because it was Maradona’s team, but also because here the fans follow football in exactly the same way as they do in Argentina.
