‘ADL pays nothing for San Paolo’

By Football Italia staff

The mayor of Naples responds to Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis - ‘he’s never even put €1 into the San Paolo’.

The Partenopei owner has been hugely critical of the stadium, which is rented from the council, calling it “a toilet”, though the city is carrying out renovation works this summer.

“I was left stunned by some of De Laurentiis’ statements,” Luigi De Magistris told Il Mattino.

“He says: ‘the San Paolo is a toilet’. Well, he’s done nothing to fix the toilet, he - unlike other Presidents - hasn’t put in even €1, but he found the money to do other deals [buying Bari].

“In terms of the contract, we had a meeting and then the next day he changed his mind. The stadium belongs to the city, there’s never been an offer [to buy it].

“A new stadium? He opposed us, we’re talking about nothing. He should be happy - as he is on even-numbered days - about the work done on the San Paolo.”
