I Love Napoli

For all Neopolitans and Maradona Lovers

MARADONA WANTS NAPOLI RETURN

Former Napoli forward Diego Maradona has come out with the statement saying that he would love to return to Napoli as a manager.

Maradona is regarded as a legend at Napoli having played for them during the late 1980s. He is worshipped at Napoli so much so that the club has even retired the shirt number used by the Argentine during his stay in Italy.

GARGANO HAPPY WITH SEASON SO FAR

Napoli midfielder Walter Gargano has said that he is extremely happy with what Napoli have achieved this season, but says that there's still a lot more that the club can do.

Napoli have been extremely brilliant in the Champions League, although the same cannot be said of their domestic form. It is because they have been focusing entirely on the Champions League and have been rewarded with a last 16 tie against Chelsea.

HAMSIK INVOKES CITY WIN

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik has said that Napoli need to repeat the same kind of performance they put in against Manchester City to have any scent of victory against Juventus. Napoli will be facing the League leaders during the week, and it is a match Hamsik is looking forward to very much.

FOCUS ON SERIE A

Napoli old-boy Fabio Cannavaro insists that the club should enjoy the Champions League games as a bit of fun, and concentrate on doing well in Serie A.

Its the first season in Napoli's history that they have competed in the Champions League, and the pressure is clearly taking its toll. Whilst coach Mazzari has tried to shuffle his team around after the intense European nights, the Partenopei have nearly always struggled to get results in the game that follows.

CITY AND UNITED CHASE NAPOLI STAR

Manchester city and Manchester United are chasing the signature of Napoli Star Cavani. Cavani was scouted several times by United chief talent spotter Martin Ferguson during the season.

City coach Attilio Lombardo confirmed their interest in Cavani, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham.

"I hope there can be some negotiations between Napoli and Manchester City, especially as I'd see one of their three forwards would really suit City," Lombardo told reporters.

BARCELONA INTERESTED IN NAPOLI'S HAMSIK

Barcelona are interested in signing Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik and are keeping a close eye on him with a move in the summer being possible.

Sport.es and Il Corriere dello Sport are both claiming scouts from Camp Nou were at San Siro for Monday night's Scudetto showdown between AC Milan and Napoli, where Hamsik's side were the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline.

Despite watching Alexis Sanchez for Udinese at Palermo on Sunday, Barcelona are eager to discover if there is a way of luring the 23-year-old Slovakian international to Spain.

CAVANI BANNED FOR THREE MATCHES

Edinson Cavani has scored Napoli's 1000th goal and he has been banned for his bad celebration. All it took him were 25 matches to have his name carved into the annals of the club. When he scored a penalty against Roma, Edinson Cavani had hit Napoli's 1,000th away goal. It was a present he had given himself to celebrate his 24th birthday on St Valentine's Day. The date is only of interest to those who love statistics, because the Uruguayan's contribution to the club is impossible to calculate. He is the new king of Naples, undisputed idol of the supporters. His talent has brought the joy of seeing the club up there, challenging for the title in the name of the whole city. The night in the Olimpico Stadium just showed us how good he really is and how devastating he can be in the last 16 metres. He is well and truly a phenomenon and half the world is envious of Aurelio De Laurentiis.

NAPOLI AND UDINESE REACH AGREEMENT

Napoli and Inter Milan have reached an agreement worth about £ 11.1 million for the transfer of Gokhan from Udinese. Deadlock has been broken after weeks of negotiations as Aurelio De Laurentiis and his transfer team have convinced Udinese into parting company with the 26-year-old Swiss international.

Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli claims a principal agreement has been reached for a summer switch to fall in line with requests from Friulani president Giampaolo Pozzo.

NAPOLI CLOSE ON MILAN

Napoli are still refusing to give up on the title race after being very close to AC Milan this weekend. They will be hoping for more good form from Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, whose hat-trick on Sunday led them to a 3-0 win over Juventus.

The 23-year-old became the joint top scorer in Serie A with 13 goals as Napoli cut Milan's lead to just four points at the top of the league, after Massimiliano Allegri's side were held to a 4-4 draw at home by Udinese.
