LAURENTIIS: IBRA WILL MOVE
Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis believes Paris Saint-Germain talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic will leave this summer following the arrival of Edinson Cavani.
Cavani joined PSG from Napoli just a few weeks ago for a fee of £59 million which could prompt Ibrahimovic to depart the oil rich club according to Laurentiis.
“For the past three seasons PSG have asked us for Cavani so they were desperate to take him. They finally got their man so it will be incomprehensible if he sits on the bench.
“Evidently Cavani will play but I don’t think it will be alongside Ibrahimovic. Firstly they are too alike and secondly that just isn’t the system Laurent Blanc likes to play with two strikers.
“Now if anybody thinks a player of Ibrahimovic is going to sit on the bench happily they must be mad. He will leave PSG for sure.”
Laurentiis has revealed he would welcome Ibrahimovic at Napoli but admits any move for the Swedish international is raw.
“I like Ibra a lot but which manager doesn’t? Mourinho and Guardiola maybe don't but that’s where the line ends. Everyone wants Ibra, including me.
“There is a difference between wanting and bidding however so a move to Napoli is highly unlikely at the moment. Of course you can never rule it out but it is not something we are looking at right now. However, who knows what might happen in the future”
