Manna confirms Napoli will work on a January signing
Napoli's sporting director speaks to Sky Sport ahead of the Champions League game in Porto and addresses the injury crisis and winter plans.
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna spoke to Sky Sport ahead of the Champions League trip to Porto. On Kevin De Bruyne, who starts as an attacking midfielder, he said the Belgian is a player of absolute class who can play anywhere on the pitch and has also shown in Serie A that he can operate as a deep playmaker.
On injuries, Manna admitted the club has suffered more traumatic problems than others, pointing to Anguissa and Neres, but said it is no excuse. Football Italia reports that ten Napoli players are currently out, either injured or ineligible.
On January, he was brief: the club will work to do something, but will see how the situation develops and act within its usual parameters.
