Aurelio De Laurentiis had been an opponent of the Super League since its inception and has reiterated his position by revealing his first response when Andrea Agnelli spoke to him about it.
The Napoli supremo is one of the most famous club owners in Italy and Europe and his team could win the league this season.
They have been a successful Italian club for a long time, which is why he was approached to support the Super League when it was a closed shop between only a few clubs.
However, he rejected the proposal and stands by his decision until now. De Laurentiis tells Radio 24 via Football Italia when asked if Napoli will join the new Super League:
“No, absolutely not. I told Agnelli ‘never’ because I wanted to do it for a group of elite clubs. I would say that today it is wrong to allow UEFA to raise 800 million euros with the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
“I would say, let’s have a European league where we don’t do the draw with balls, isn’t it like we are in the third world?
“The top six in a major league or the top six in a minor league must play everyone else in a single game.
“These gentlemen do not know that the virtual fan, that is, the one who has to pay the season ticket to watch the game, wants new football.”
Juve FC says
It is not possible to get a positive response from all the clubs on such a revolutionary idea because everyone loves to stick with what they know.
However, the main characters of the Super League still believe that it would be for our own good, and we should probably give them the support they need at least once.
