The experienced defender is no longer at the club as he was sold to Chelsea this summer. In winter, Luciano Spalletti was also unable to use his services because the stopwatch was playing in the African Cup of Nations.

This turn of events has greatly upset Aurelio De Laurentiis. The owner of Napoli learned from the whole situation and made a controversial decision. He no longer intends to sign contracts with African players, unless they renounce their participation in the continent’s championship early.

– We will no longer sign contracts with players from Africa unless they agree to waive the African Cup of Nations. Either they sign it or there will be no transfers De Laurentiis declared.

– The African Nations Cup is played at the same time as Serie A. And we are idiots, because we pay them wages for the game not for us, but for the national team, which is required by the provisions in their contracts required by FIFA – he blurted out.

The next African Cup of Nations will be held next year. It is to be played at the turn of January and February, so shortly after the World Cup in Qatar. The tournament will be hosted by the Ivory Coast.
