"I am not going to sign any more African players"

Surprising comments made by Aurelio de Laurentiis, Napoli president. He assured that, as long as he is in charge, the Neapolitan club will not sign any more African players.

"I am not going to sign any more African players. I will only do it if they give up playing in the Africa Cup of Nations, then we don't have them at our disposal. We pay their salaries so they can go and play with the others," he told 'Wall Street Italia'.

Last season, Napoli were unable to count on Kalidou Koulibaly for the month of January, as the centre-back was away with his national team for the continental tournament.

Meawhile, De Laurentiis defended the possibility of creating a Super League: "We are cretins who accept to play 50 games. The five big leagues should start a new tournament. They already have fake competitions".
