Massimo Moratti discusses Napoli acquisition refusal and transfer history
Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has shared several insights regarding his past involvement with Napoli and various transfer market decisions in an interview with Il Mattino.
Moratti revealed that he was once offered the opportunity to purchase Napoli following the club's bankruptcy and subsequent relegation to Serie C. He declined the offer, stating that he could not commit the necessary time and passion to the club while managing Inter Milan.
Regarding player transfers, Moratti admitted he passed on the chance to sign Marek Hamsik out of respect for Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Additionally, Moratti expressed high regard for current players, specifically mentioning that he would not let Nico Paz from Como pass him by in the current market.
