Napoli are threatening to wreck the career of Ezequiel Lavezzi
over a row regarding an offer from Liverpool.
The popular striker has said an offer from Liverpool was rejected by the club and above all
he is angry that the ‘promise’ to improve his wages has not been
kept.
“Lavezzi can’t say anything, nor can his agents,” slammed
President Aurelio De Laurentiis.
“A man who signs a contract with an agreed upon length and
value, which was already improved within seven months of his
arrival, cannot ask for more.
“It’s not even as if his performances warranted yet another
raise throughout the season.”
Lavezzi and the rest of the Napoli squad had a wonderful start
to the season and were challenging for Champions League places
until a massive dip in form for the final months.
“I am surprised by the immaturity of these professionals. It
cannot all be based around money, there is also the value of the
rapport between people.
“I told [director general Pierpaolo] Marino not to say ‘this is
football,’ or I’ll get really angry.”
