"We had made the contract for Haaland": the architect of Naples shows

Cristiano Giuntoli, the architect of a spectacular Napoli so far, has a big regret. The Italian leader has not yet overcome the despair of failing to get Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, Giuntoli has explained how the first glittering Napoli was built so far this season: "Dedication, competence and courage. There is a project here. After Covid we realized that we had to start a new cycle. The wage bill was unsustainable in the face of a situation that had reduced every economic resource." Kvaratskhelia was undoubtedly one of the best shots: "We had been chasing him since Ancelotti's time, but Rubin Kazan had asked us for 30 million euros. Then the war changed the assessment and we appeared again on the scene when Khvicha was transferred to Dinamo Batumi".

Dhe pastaj sigurisht Kim, mbi të cilin ka pezull një klauzolë në kontratë: “E vlefshme vetëm për vendet e huaja – shpjegon drejtori sportiv i Napolit për Corriere dello Sport -. Nuk ka vlerë fikse, varet nga variabla si xhiroja e çdo blerësi. Dhe në çdo rast, po ai mund ta ushtrojë vetëm në një afat 15-ditor, të caktuar për korrikun e ardhshëm. E gjithë kjo teorikisht, duke qenë se në praktikë parashikohet t’i ridiskutojmë ato terma”.

Nuk duhet harruar Luciano Spalletti, kontrata e të cilit skadon në qershor: “Ka një harmoni totale me të, ai merr pjesë aktive në ndërtimin e ekipit. Rinovimi? Klubi ka një opsion në favor të tij edhe për një vit”.

At the end, Giuntoli recounts a behind-the-scenes incident from the market that still makes him feel bad today: "Haaland. We had already made the contract with Salzburg, with the agreement to pay the clause of 25 million euros. Then he chose Borussia Dortmund and we focused on Osimhe, who for us was equal to the Norwegian".
