Aurelio De Laurentiis has been interviewed by Il Corriere dello Sport, talking about this summer's transfer window. From Llorente to Icardi, with the first one arriving thanks to Ancelotti while the second one went to PSG after long negotiations.
Regarding the Spaniard, Napoli's president has admitted: "Signing Llorente wasn't my idea but Ancelotti because he was saying we needed a fuoriclasse in the attacking unit that we could use for the last 30 minutes of the games we couldn't score in. An alternative to Milik, who, let's not forget, has scored 20 goals on his first year, without taking penalties. I don't understand why many fans always look what the other teams have, there are a lot of stars in our team".
De Laurentiis has then made some revelations about the Icardi negotiations: "I've come to offer 60m plus bonuses and a €12m before taxes contract to Wanda's husband. The player's not stupid though and has chosen PSG to get back on track on the european level. I don't have regrets in my life, if I'd have taken Icardi then Llorente wouldn't have arrived and I'm convinced, like Ancelotti is, that he's a great striker. I would also have casted shadows over Milik's future while I consider him to be the real big offensive star of Napoli".
