EXCLUSIVE: Maurizio Sarri to sign new Napoli contract after Juventus clash
As calciomercato.com’s Giovanni Scotto points out, Napoli’s option to extend Sarri’s deal runs until April and Aurelio De Laurentiis wants him to put pen to paper on a new contract, before the season ends.
Lot of Serie A and European benches could change at the end of the current campaign and the Partenopei president doesn’t want Sarri to be involved in any of those negotiations.
Sarri, of course, wants to continue his career at the San Paolo, but he has a couple of requests to make ahead of signing a new deal.
First of all: his salary. The Tuscan tactician has done a great job so far and he definitely deserves a pay rise, De Lauretiis knows it very well.
The manager’s salary is in the region of € 700.000 and Sarri is expected to ask a bit more than a million per year. With his predecessors Mazzarri and Benitez who were earning € 2 and € 3 million each, De Laurentiis is likely to meet his coach’s request.
Sarri has another desire too. He’d like to sign a multi-year contract and not an annual contract extension. Something more ‘solid’ which could also help him planning the club’s future.
Napoli offered him an annual deal last summer because they were not sure whether Sarri would have been successful or not on Napoli’s bench.
The manager’s results do the talking and De Laurentiis is expected to accept also this last request.
