Mertens is already homesick for Naples. Why do you send that email to De Laurentiis in June?
The Belgian player has once again shown that he has great nostalgia for the city of Naples.
Dry Mertens speaking at the San Gennaro World award ceremony, organized by Gianni Simioli, he reaffirmed his great love for Naples. It is a sincere love, built in nine years of work and successes of, above all of great and mutual affection with the Napoli fans. Too bad there was no opportunity to greet the blue people, as Insigne did and as Dries should have deserved. As we read in Il Mattino, nostalgia for Naples already emerges in the interviews with Mertens. City from which the Belgian got and to which he gave. This was the place to complete his professional career, ending his career as a footballer here before embarking on another one, as manager or coach.
One wonders why Dries in early June He had his lawyer send an email to De Laurentiis asking for one asking for 4 million net. At 35 and moreover knowing the line of rigor necessarily to be followed by the company.
Had he made one more request, it would have probably been accepted. But no. And this “detail” of the Mertens negotiation has not so far made it clear. Pity. But love remains. That of the fans towards Dries and of Dries towards the Neapolitans and towards those who today wear the blue shirt.
