De Laurentiis seeks €2 billion to sell Napoli amid interest

Summary

Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, has indicated openness to selling the club for the right price, set at €2 billion. American entrepreneur Matt Rizzetta, leading a consortium, has expressed interest, though his potential offer may reach only €1.3 billion. Recent discussions suggest the two sides are still significant distances apart on valuation. De Laurentiis previously rejected an offer in the spring, but conversations resumed recently. Rizzetta has ambitions for a multi-sport project, with football as a key component. The outcome of these discussions remains uncertain and appears to be in preliminary stages.
