De Laurentiis: football clubs are not for billionaires

The president of the Italian club Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, expressed his opinion on the need for changes in world football. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, clubs need to be effective in all areas, just like NBA teams. A decade ago, American basketball was facing financial losses, but teams collectively paused competitions and implemented necessary changes.

Those involved in football feel as if they are participating in a war without helping the clubs. Politicians consider football clubs to be billionaires, but many clubs are left under significant debt.

Last season, Napoli became the Italian champion, collecting one point more than Milan's Inter club. This victory was a significant achievement for the club and demonstrated the strength of the team.

De Laurentiis emphasized that he supports fair and effective changes in the football system. He stated that favorable conditions should be created for club activities and financial stability must be ensured.

There is a need for updates in the football world, and the economic situation of clubs must improve. He also stressed that football should be developed not only as a sport but also as a business and culture.

According to De Laurentiis, football teams must conduct their activities at a more professional level. This will serve to transform the entire football system for the better.
