The debate on the future of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. The mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, confirmed that he had discussed with the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, on the hypothesis of a purchase of the sports facility by the blue club. Speaking to the microphones of Radio Crc, Manfredi specified that a possible sale of the stadium would require a Revenue Agency assessment to establish the price of the property and surrounding areas.
"At the moment – explained the mayor – I have not yet requested a formal evaluation, because there is no official proposal from De Laurentiis. However, if there is a concrete interest, we will proceed with the appropriate checks, as is happening in Milan for the San Siro case”.
The announcement came during an institutional meeting dedicated to the world of sport, held in Council Hall of Palazzo San Giacomo, on the occasion of the traditional exchange of greetings with the representatives of the Campania Regional Committee of Coni, local sports federations and associations.
