Napoli issued a statement on Saturday evening denying reports that their president Aurelio De Laurentiis has contacted UEFA. A contact that would have allowed to discuss a possible replacement of Juventus in the Champions League.
The Partenopei have finished fifth in Serie A this season, missing the Champions League, to the benefit of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Atalanta and Juve. However, with the Bianconeri potentially excluded from the tournament by UEFA due to the controversial Super League, Napoli would in theory be the next to replace them.
“President Aurelio De Laurentiis has not contacted UEFA regarding the possibility of entering the next edition of the Champions League. The rumor reported by Bein Sports is therefore completely unfounded. “, We read in a press release published by Napoli this Saturday evening.
