Nino Simeonepresident of the transport and sports facilities commission of the Municipality of Naples, spoke about the stadium issue a Radio Mars:
“Do rumors lead De Laurentiis to hypothesize the construction of a new stadium at the headquarters? Let’s say that the president must move, otherwise an expression of interest will be needed to find an important sponsor as Juventus did in Turin. The Maradona stadium must be an absolute priority , we want to preserve its identity: we must keep the name and not make it become ‘Allianz’ as happened elsewhere.
What is the deadline? Is there one?
“There is a deadline, the minister set it with the organizers of the European Championships: we are talking about a period that goes between the end of this year and the beginning of next year, in six months we need to bring something to the table, otherwise De Laurentiis can go and build the stadium where he says, if he is not interested. When it comes to public structures, he cannot do what he wants. In that case we should do it ourselves, as a Municipality, to allow Naples to participate in the European Championships “.
