The Nocera Inferiore born agent is not putting a lid on his melee with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 President and he has stated that the players are daunted by the Partenopei chief.
Raiola acts as an advisor of the Azzurri attacking midfielder, Marek Hamsik, and the Italian has stated that the player should part ways with the Azzurri outfit. He insinuated that the players were not making decisions independently, that they were coerced
by their President to stay on at the club.
De Laurentiis did not take kindly to such an implication and spoke out vehemently against the high-profile agent, by stating that he was a greedy man who was out to get his players. The film producer actively runs his club and takes a keen interest in addressing
the issues of the club.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent has not held back and has countered the statements made by De Laurentiis, by giving his verdict on authoritarian hold the Partenopei chief has on the club and its players. He cleared out the fact that he was not the agent of the
Slovakian and that he only gave him advice.
He went on to state that he did not have any personal grudges against the film maker and the fact that he had only met him once. He gave his opinion that the clubs should not hold on to a player against their will, they should part ways with him after accepting
the requisite market price.
Raiola continued by stating that it was alright for two people to differ in opinion; however, he went on to state that holding players back leads to a lack of motivation within the player. The agent was talking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli and he remarked:
“For me, Hamsik renewed his contract because he has a strong President, so you must have a certain type of character to deal with him. There are few players capable of addressing a President like De Laurentiis. I don’t know if a big player is at Napoli by
will and not because of De Laurentiis.”
He went on to comment on the Cavani situation and stated:
“If Cavani could have the chance to leave then he would take it, but that possibility is down to De Laurentiis.”
The Uruguayan is in contract negotiations with the club; however De Laurentiis warned him that exorbitant demands would lead him to a place on the bench.
