The director of sport spoke to Mediaset before tonight’s Europa League match with Slovan Bratislava.

“It’s true what Buffon said, that to win the Champions League you need players of the calibre of Messi and Ronaldo, but I also believe that with hard work and consistency you can achieve great results.

“This is what we have done in recent years. From last season we started this project with Benitez and in the first year already did great things. Now building on that work I am convinced that we’ll continue to improve.”

Napoli are set to sign Gabbiadini from Sampdoria in January, but talks over personal terms are continuing.

“He is an interesting player we are still talking about, both with him and the club that owns him.”
