Aurelio De Laurentiis warned that unhappy players can leave Napoli after public comments from Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. The club president said no player is untouchable as Napoli prepare for a new coaching cycle.

De Bruyne criticised Antonio Conte’s rigid system after a difficult first season, while Lukaku also voiced frustration. De Laurentiis said the new coach will assess the squad, making senior exits possible if attitudes or plans do not align.
