Napoli FC ownership discussions and player updates

Napoli FC president Aurelio De Laurentiis has clarified that the club is not currently for sale. However, he indicated that if a sale were to occur in the coming years, he would prefer a Neapolitan buyer. Potential candidates mentioned include the Aponte family of MSC, the Grimaldi group, or a synergy with Q8. While a US-led fund headed by Matt Rizzetta remains a distant possibility, there is a significant valuation gap between the club's estimated €2 billion worth and the fund's interest level.

In related sports news, Matt Rizzetta clarified that any potential football project in Naples involves Underdog Global Partners rather than himself personally.

On the pitch, Scott McTominay was named to the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week following the third matchday. Additionally, Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante has returned to training with a knee bandage as his team prepares for their upcoming match against Napoli.
