NAPLES – In the end, Napoli took Manolas on his terms. The Neapolitan company paid the Greek football player's termination clause of 36 million euros but sold it to Roma Diawara for a sum of about 20 million euros. So, on balance, this transfer market operation cost the Naples 16 million euros (36 spent and 20 cashed).
Diawara was no longer part of the Naples technical project. Ancelotti didn't really see it. While with Sarri he had space and an important role, with Ancelotti he never really entered the rotations of the owners. The Campania company wanted to sell it and this deal with Roma for Manolas was the right opportunity to give it away.
"The great teams are born from a great defense and I would also say a great midfield. Manolas and Koulibaly could be a great pairing, as we have had so many in the past ”said Aurelio De Laurentiis today, speaking of the possible arrival of Manolas. On the sidelines of an event at the Chamber of Deputies, the president of Naples also spoke of James Rodriguez. Your statements are reported by Repubblica.it.
"No one has ever denied that Rodriguez is bad for us, in fact there is a particular respect between the player and Ancelotti. But there are the agents, the footballer's family, there's Real Madrid: whoever lives will see. We have many negotiations and negotiations at stake. However, the outgoing market must also be dealt with, we have 40 players, we have to settle so many ”. Chapter aside an opening to the possible departure of Allan and Insigne.
"If the offer – De Laurentiis specifies – is in a market context that allows me to run for cover in time, we can also take it into consideration. But if instead it is a question of closing in the last ten days of the market then it cannot be done ”.
