'We are idiots': Napoli president explains refusal to sign Africans

MOSCOW, Aug 3 Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis said that the club will refuse to acquire African players because of their departures to the national teams. The Neapolitan team includes Nigerian Victor Osimhen and Cameroonian Andre Zambo-Angissa. Previously Senegalese Kalidou Coulibaly moved from Napoli to English Chelsea. «I love them, but either they sign something confirming that they will withdraw from the African Cup of Nations, or during this tournament and the qualifying matches for the championship world, these players will never be available. We are idiots who pay wages only to send them to play around the world for others, «Football Italia quotes De Laurentiis as saying.
