The president of Napoli, Aurelio de Laurentiis, revealed how Real Madrid counterpart Florentino Perez he convinced the Superleague was a good idea. Despite the widespread rejection of the project outside of Barcelona and Real Madrid, the organization of the company A22 insists that it has the support of several big clubs behind closed doors, such as the president of Barcelona Joan Laporta.
De Laurentiis was one of the few who were willing to consider the competition publicly. He commented in a press conference, as quoted by Football Italysaid that, while initially he believed it was a bad idea, UEFA have been in the past.
“I always said it was wrong, but when I met Florentino in Alicante, when I went to a slimming clinic, I told him that the Super League was the trigger, like in the movies, and that we can't stay here that Italy had. the same importance of San Marino in terms of voting. It is an anti-democratic monopoly,” said ADL.
“Florentino has had a resolution from the European Court of Justice, and is now studying a new competition for a value of 5 billion euros.”
“The idea of the Super League is wrong, the domestic leagues are necessary. It is the priority because the fans are the heart of everything. In any case, is it possible to have a European championship to bring back the current competition? Tuesday's games , Wednesday and Thursday could meet our schedule.”
Star Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has commented on several occasions that his dream is to play for Real Madrid, but Napoli fans can rest easy as de Laurentiis also confirmed that renewal talks have gone well with the georgian.
The war of words on the Superleague continues in public, but little is known about the future of the idea, since there is little to suggest that a real attempt to launch a competition is imminent.
