Aurelio De Laurentiis is once again the talk of the town following his recent statements about Bari. The city has erupted in controversy against the management of the son of the Napoli patron, who spoke to members of the Napoli Club Parliament today. To them, the Napoli president admitted: "The Serie A cannot be saved by reducing the number of teams. Clubs from cities with 20,000 inhabitants distort the championship. There are two competitions, one on the left and one on the right.

"We need to reset the League"

The number 1 of Napoli then continued: "We need to reset the League. Then there is always the issue of non-EU players. Companies must be able to be the players' agents. I should be the one to decide, not the agents. If I hire a 17 or 18 year old, I can't just give him a five-year contract, but I should be free to sign him for seven-eight years".

Finally, Aurelio also spoke about TV rights: "Communication is constantly changing and extending the assignment from three to five years is not a positive thing. Even abroad, contracts are low. We should sell everything to the highest bidder".
