Hysaj: 'Sarri exit bad news for me'

By Football Italia staff

Napoli full-back Elseid Hysaj admits Maurizio Sarri’s departure “is not good news for me, as we’ve been working together for six years.”

Albania international Hysaj followed Sarri from Empoli to the Stadio San Paolo in 2015 for just €5m.

He has now become a transfer target for numerous clubs and has a €50m release clause in his contract, valid only for clubs outside of Italy.

“Sarri leaving Napoli is not good news for me, as we’ve been working together for six years,” Hysaj told reporters on international duty.

“Napoli have made a good choice with Carlo Ancelotti, who is an excellent Coach and everyone knows how many trophies he has won.

“I don’t know anything about by future and just read what was in the papers.”
