    Napoli president: 'Benitez didn't want to sign Higuain'

    • M.G.
    During an interview accorded to Tutti Convocati, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis stated: “I was interested in Empoli’s project, and I wanted my team to have a playmaker, this is why I picked Sarri. I called him while he was in Amalfi, we meet and I was fascinated by the fact that he wanted to join Napoli bad. I told him that my task is to protect the club and that for this reason I could offer him a one-year deal.

    Sarri wanted me to sign Saponara, but I couldn’t get all Empoli players! When we lost the first game, I called Giuntoli and asked him to convince Maurizio to change formation. Benitez is more theoretical, Sarri is more practical, he knows how to talk to the players.

    Higuain? He has a great family, he is a loyal and clean person. It was our idea to sign him, not Benitez’s! He wanted Damiao. Reina? He’s great, last year there has been a misunderstanding with his agent.
