Rome - "The championship is still long, we must stay focused." These are the words of Giovanni Manna, Napoli's sporting director, who spoke during the Social Football Summit. The Italian sports director addressed the hot topics of the season, talking about the top spot in the standings, the renewal of Kvaratskhelia and the future strategies of the Neapolitan club.
Manna stressed the importance of maintaining concentration despite the enthusiasm of the square: “Naples is a warm city that is giving us so much.

Among the topics discussed, that of the renewal of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, one of the absolute protagonists of the Azzurri: “We want to reward the path he has taken with us, he deserves it. However, there are dynamics that need to be aligned and we need to agree on everything. If we don't resolve it now, we'll talk about it in June. There's no rush, we agree with the player on maintaining concentration on the pitch.”
Napoli, Manna on the January market and on Lukaku
On the market front, Manna has dampened expectations of big signings in January: “We have already invested a lot in the summer. We do not foresee any major operations.” Speaking of Romelu Lukaku, the current centre forward of the Azzurri, praised the Belgian: “There’s no arguing with him, he has a charismatic approach and 300 goals behind him.” Finally, Manna has currently excluded the possibility of creating a second team: “We don’t have the structure to support it. It’s an interesting idea, but we’re not ready.”
