“Renewal Meret? We’ll talk about it. Cristiano Ronaldo never close”
The sporting director of Napoli Cristiano Giuntoli to the microphones of Radio Kiss Kiss Naples made a very positive balance of the summer transfer market of the blue club: “The compliments must be shared with everyone, the president, managers and staff. He has been a team effort. My big applause goes to everyone, behind there is a great job“.
Napoli, Giuntoli: “We waited for the right moment on Kvara”
“The renovation started in 2019, we tried to restart with a project in which continuity can be dared – Giuntoli explained -, and an economic self-subsistence that leads us to be more serene in our reasoning. How do you find someone like Kvaratskhelia? We get many reports, and we waited the right moment, unfortunately the outbreak of the war allowed us to find a much cheaper channel. When the price went down we were able to take this guy home. Now it takes time to blend, the team must have balance, It requires patience“.
Naples, Giuntoli: “Meret renewal? Always focused on him, we’ll talk about it”
“It’s not Giuntoli’s Naples, it’s De Laurentiis’s, Spalletti’s and everyone’s Naples – Giuntoli continued -. The important thing is that Napoli are of a high level, that they are competitive, like the other Napoli “. On the situation of Meret: “The agent always told us he wanted to wait for someone to come as a doorman. Now he is the owner, I don’t think there will be any problems. We await your agent’s return from vacation e we sit down at a small table. But we always aimed at him. With Ancelotti he played more than Ospina. Then out of an obsession with the person from behind, he played less. With Lazio he made an incredible save on Felipe Anderson, sometimes it makes things easy that aren’t. If he has played more than 100 games with Napoli, there will be a reason“. Giuntoli also clarified the failed negotiation for Keylor Navas: “In the spring, or 4 players expiring, Koulibaly, Ounas, Fabian Ruiz and Meret. We got to a point where they were either renewing or they need to be sold. Having a very good relationship with PSG who was looking for a player like Fabiano Ruiz, we made a kind of mutual problems agreement. We wanted alongside Navas to Meret but when we realized that it was not possible to do it because there was a misunderstanding between them, we were lucky and we were good at selling Fabian Ruiz “.
Napoli, Giuntoli: “Cristiano Ronaldo? Never a real deal”
On Ronaldo: “I’m sorry to disappoint the fans, but there isn’t never been a real deal with Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo“. On the conditions of Osimhenwho trained separately on Monday and is in slight doubt for Liverpool, Giuntoli said: “It’s a deal, he must decide whether or not to risk playing. Where can Napoli go? Napoli you don’t have to set goals, the goal must be to win all matches. Try to win with Liverpool, Napoli know they can be competitive against anyone so what they have to do. Then time will speak. Do I chant against Naples? When I hear them I feel pride because it means that we are strong and we are annoying “.
