De laurentiis is a laugh isn't he. The unnamed club was city as if that isn't blindingly obvious. De laurentiis can't afford balotelli and i doubt very much that balotelli has any intention of moving anywhere near napoli seeing as that is where his ex and his alleged child are living and he has ignored them for weeks. Napoli need to sell to balance the books. That's why lavezzi is at psg. AC Milan are the only italian club who can afford mario. However, what looked like a gimme two weeks ago has completely changed with aguerro's injury cos there is no way roberto is going to leave himself with only two fit strikers. And if the board says he has to sell before he buys, then his latest utterance that no one leaves in january may well turn out to be the case.

However, unless mario suddenly starts to produce the sort of stellar displays we know he can, he'll be gone in june with either cavani or falcao as replacements and isco will also be high on the list.
