NAPLES – It's all done for the transfer of Fernando Llorente's transfer to Napoli. The Spanish footballer was released after the excellent season with Tottenham's shirt ended with the Champions League grand final lost against Liverpool. Llorente had scored a decisive goal in the quarter-finals of Pep Guardiola's top European club competition against Manchester City.
Napoli decided to throw themselves headlong into Llorente after realizing they could not buy either Mauro Icardi (who should go abroad), or James Rodriguez (considered incedible by Zinedine Zidane after the serious injury suffered by Asensio).
Llorente is a confident footballer who has already played and won in Italy with the Juventus shirt. With the Bianconeri he scored 27 goals in 92 games, won two championships, two Italian super cups and an Italian cup. In his career he also won a Europa League with Sevilla, a World Cup with Spain and a European championship with Spain.
Carlo Ancelotti spoke of Llorente spending words of appreciation. His statements on the eve of Napoli-Juventus are reported by Corriere dello Sport.
"Llorente? I don't know anything, I'm not interested in the market, I have to think of something else. If he comes I am very happy. Regrets for Icardi? No regrets".
Carlo Ancelotti also spoke of the drama that struck the Spanish coach Luis Enrique: "When these things happen there is little to say, except to demonstrate the closeness to a colleague who has suffered a very serious drama".
Ancelotti hopes for a change in the regulation: "I hope that we will step back on the regulation concerning handballs. Contact in football is lawful ”.
Finally, the Napoli coach throws Lozano ahead of the big match against Juventus: "Lozano is doing well, he is in excellent condition having started training very soon. He is adapting to new ideas and situations, he is ready to play ".
