And interviewed by Bruno Vespa for cfive minutes reveals that he has rejected 2.5 billion for his entire Filmauro group, not just one billion for Napoli as was already known in football circles.

And I refused those too ».

«Osimhen for sale? No, never”

Then he explains how to manage a winning soccer team. «We need to make precise budgets in relation to what the market offers, we need to be entrepreneurs. I don’t want to say that the atriums in football aren’t. But in life there are entrepreneurs and borrowers». Then, on the football front, in addition to confirming the exercise of the option to renew coach Spalletti’s contract (“he’s a legend I’ve been chasing for at least 10 years, I wish a cycle had opened with him at the helm because he’s a great leader»), made the announcement that all of Naples was waiting for: «Will I sell Osimhen? No, never.” The party, in Naples, can continue.
