Agent Mario Giuffredi represents Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Matteo Politano, and Mario Rui and dished on his clients to Radio CRC (via Fantacalcio).
“Napoli were built over the years with a capable coach and sporting director. They continuously added what they were lacking. The locker room has become one of their strengths. Rui had a great season in 2021/2022 already, and he’s following it up. He’s an international-caliber player at this point. He has been doing very important things in the last two or three campaigns. They look even better now because the team is thriving. He’s more impactful through his assists. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has more touches when he’s playing. He’s the best fullback in Italy along with Theo Hernandez.”
“Spalletti called him a maestro, and he has with unique intelligence. He’s tactically savvy and always anticipates what will happen. He’s the second-best playmaker for them behind Stanislav Lobotka. Rui and Di Lorenzo are essential to their scheme and touch many balls. They help the wingers a lot.”
Giuffredi weighed in on Politano and Di Lorenzo.
“The contract of the former expires in 2025 because it has an option. We’ll discuss it in March or April. The latter wants to stay at Napoli, and if the club is on the same page, we’ll be happy to do it. He’s grateful and would like to finish his career here, but it takes two to tango. Those evaluations will be carried out serenely at the end of the season. He wants to be the captain that lifts the first Napoli Scudetto after Diego Armando Maradona. That means to write indelible pages of history. He’s singularly focused on that, and the rest falls to the background.”
