Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, believes Juventus benefit from belonging to "the most powerful family" in the country.





Aurelio spoke to La Gazzetta Dello Sport about the title chase, which now has just a point separating the two clubs at the top of the table. He mentioned how his team are the only team in the league without any debts to the banks and highlighted on how much the club's grown after he took over.

He said, “We are the only club in Serie A without debts to the banks. We’ve grown so much since I took over the club as a sheet of paper in the bankruptcy tribunal. Today Napoli’s revenue is a third of Juve’s, but our accounts are in better order than theirs," as reported by ​Football-Italia.





Aurelio continued, "Juventus, however, belong to the most powerful family in Italy, and the Agnelli family has been in that position for 100 years. It’s not an issue of money, but of relationships that can even silently condition situations. That is true at every level."





Giving an example, he stated, "For example, with Sportfive they were gifted two thirds of the Juventus Stadium. It took me seven years to work out the finances I gave to the local council, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to play at the Stadio San Paolo."
