Mauro Melusoformer sporting director of Naplesspoke during the ‘Palermo Football Conference’ and also spoke about the choice of Victor Osimhenwho ultimately chose the Galatasaraynot the team of his dreams: “It was a makeshift operation, not having found a suitable position in the traditional transfer period… He had expressed the desire to no longer be part of Napoli, they found the solution not to make him miss at least the first few months, then we’ll see in January. There was a very important offer, even before I arrived at Napoli, but De Laurentiis didn’t take it into consideration because he thought of the good of the club. He may have done it wrong assessments, but he did it for Napoli’s competitiveness, Osimhen is not a player who can be found so easily. Choices are made, but you don’t have a glass ball.”

Was there something with Palermo or not?
“Absolutely not, I haven’t spoken to any of the managers, no one has looked for me. I’ve had some contact with other teams, but I’m also looking for a situation that satisfies me in certain respects. I haven’t spoken to Palermo.”
