Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis has come out to say that the Italian club will not sign African players again. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, this stance will remain for a long time unless these African players agree to a clause which will see them miss out on the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Laurentiis added that even if he loves African players, he doesn’t like the fact that they’ll be unavailable for a certain period of time to represent their narions.
His words, “I told them, lads, don’t talk to me about Africans anymore!”
“I love them, but either they sign something confirming they’ll back out of playing the Africa Cup of Nations, or otherwise between that tournament, the World Cup qualifiers in South America, these players are never available!”
“We are the idiots who pay salaries only to send them all over the world playing for others.”
