A breakthrough was made during a crisis meeting between Napoli officials and Di Lorenzo’s agent, with Di Lorenzo expressing his desire to stay at the club this summer. The meeting took place at two different hotels in Naples, with Coach Conte, President De Laurentiis, new director of sport Giovanni Manna, club manager Antonio Sinicropi, and chief revenue officer Tommaso Bianchini in attendance. Di Lorenzo’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, was staying at the Hotel Britannique next door.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the initial impressions from the meeting were positive, with Napoli assuring that they would address whatever off-field situation had caused Di Lorenzo’s desire to leave. Despite his push to join Juventus, Napoli continues to insist that Di Lorenzo is not for sale.
In a surprising turn of events, Giuffredi agreed to extend Italy international Michael Folorunsho’s contract with Napoli until June 2027. This step, along with the progress made in the crisis meeting, signals a potential resolution to the Di Lorenzo situation at Napoli.
