Aurelio De Laurentiis interested in signing Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi: Serie A
Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has revealed that he will try to sign Villarreal striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027, before the summer transfer window shuts.
Rossi is linked with a move away from Villarreal for the past few months and appeared close to joining Juventus before his move collapsed. Napoli have added several new players to the squad and are still looking for few more quality
names to prepare the team for the UEFA Champions League.
The Azzurri have already signed Miguel Angel Britos and Gokhan Inler this summer and are in definite need of a new striker to partner http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955 upfront. Laurentiis revealed that he called the former Manchester United striker
few months back and asked him if he would join his club. However, after receiving no call from the striker, he is willing to contact him again. The Patron added he will keep looking for quality signings until he finds one.
“Although Walter Mazzarri wants a small squad, I did call Rossi and Villarreal a while back. We got to know each other on the phone. He was born in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 and doesn’t know Naples well, so I explained to him what it means to play
for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. He didn’t say no.”
“That was a month ago and he hasn’t called me back, but I will call him now. I also proposed a transfer in January. Rossi is a nice boy and said he was honoured by this interest. I am ready to go back on the charge for this player.”
Napoli have been linked with several strikers throughout the summer window and at one time they were close to signing former Juventus star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Trezeguet-c10623. Laurentiis has been hugely inspirational in his team’s success and has
turned their fortunes in the past few years. After being in the Serie C for the past few seasons, Napoli finished third in the Serie A table in the last campaign.
Laurentiis is eagerly looking forward to the upcoming season and wants his team to better the last season’s results.
