Reja confirms Grassi to Napoli

By Football Italia staff

Atalanta Coach Edy Reja confirms Alberto Grassi will join Napoli - “my little boy is gone”.

It was reported earlier this week that the Vesuviani had won the race for the midfielder’s signature, but official confirmation is yet to arrive.

However, the youngster was not called-up to face Frosinone, and the Orobici Coach confirms that the 20-yea-old will move to San Paolo.

“My little boy is gone,” Reja said in his pre-match Press conference.

“We let him go reluctantly, but he’s already mature and has great personality. We’re giving away someone valuable for the team, now we have to find someone else.

“I explained to him how it is at Napoli, the scrutiny that he’ll be under.

“I’m convinced he’ll have a brilliant career, because he’s a lad with his head on his shoulders.”
