"In reference to the critical statements made towards me by the mayor of Bari Decaro, a person I respect and appreciate, regarding today's press conference, I want to point out that my words about Bari have been misunderstood. I think that having two teams as owners, in two different categories, is simply an added value for both. This was the meaning of my reasoning".
This was stated on X by the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who had spoken of Bari as a "second team".
"Bari - continues the owner of Napoli - is led by my son Luigi De Laurentiis in total autonomy and was one step away from Serie A only seven months ago. The ownership's objective is to take it as high as possible. If My words offended the fans. I'm sorry."
