Napoli president De Laurentiis eager to buy in January

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis says they'll be active in January.

Napoli are second in Serie A, just a point behind Inter, and many have suggested that some well-timed buys could push them to the Scudetto.

“If a great player wants to leave his club to come to Napoli in January then so be it," De Laurentiis said in an interview with Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“But it's not easy. I'd like to make two signings, then if we could do three because we need them for June that would be even better.

“The thing I don't like though, is that if you announce a signing for June, in January, the fans don't take it into account when the summer comes along.

“The other day I was in love with a player, and I was told he wouldn't be for sale until the end of June. So I replied: 'Get him for June!'

“To which my staff said 'and the other one'? I said 'get them both!'. But we can't really do that, which sucks."
