De Laurentiis drove the Saudis ‘crazy’: ‘200 million just buys a leg from Osimen’
Saudi Arabia’s teams swept away everything that got in their way in the summer transfer market, but Aurelio De Laurentiis wasn’t “baked out” and dismissed their proposal for Osimen, giving them a disarming email reply.
European clubs felt a major threat in the summer of 2023 after receiving a “violent attack” from Saudi Arabia, who opened up their vaults and tried to make the most of what was circulating in the old continent.
However, one of the teams that starred last year and didn’t lose any players was Napoli after both Victor Osimen and Kvica Kvaratthelia stayed with ‘Diego Maradona’.
The presence of Aurelio De Laurentiis at the helm of the Partenopei played a role in this, with Equipe revealing that after Al Hilal expressed interest in Osimen, the Napoli strongman reacted violently to the Saudis by sending them an e- Mail sent that he had received a receiver and the player’s manager.
“With the 200 million euros you’re offering, you can only buy one of Osimen’s legs. For the new year, I believe you can bid €500m and we will likely consider your offer.”
But I repeat, maybe we will take them into account. Kind regards, De Laurentiis,” said the reply email.
