Napoli Director Giuntoli Announces He Will Stay Put

Cristiano Giuntoli has been occasionally linked to Juventus, which might bolster their front office with an experienced official, but he reassured that he would stay at Napoli talking to Prime Video before the return leg versus Eintracht Frankfurt (via Tuttomercatoweb).

“I have one year on my contract, and I’m great here along with my family. I don’t see why I would leave.”

The director weighed in on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen, and Kim Min-Jae, who might draw sizeable offers in the summer but sidestepped a direct question about their future.

“They have long-term deals, and we are in no rush. We’ll likely look into them in the summer. We prioritized players whose expiration dates were closer. Motivations are very meaningful in football. We were aware we were building an important team in the past. We’re confident we will be able to do the same in the future.”

Giuntoli further addressed the Georgian star to Sky Sport.

“His quality was noticeable on tape. We had been tracking him for three years and, when we stepped up our efforts to sign him, we hoped nobody would outbid us. The war in Ukraine contributed to his arrival in Naples too. He’s exceeding our expectations, but we knew we acquired a great player.”

The exec dished on the violent clashes between fans.

“We’re very sorry because football is supposed to a cheerful event for families, who should come to the stadium serenely. I think UEFA handled this matter with too much superficiality. We’ll do everything in our power to protect our club and city.”
