Il Mattino: Napoli’s De Laurentiis to invest €50–70m in training centre | OneFootball

Il Mattino – Naples, De Laurentiis ready to invest between 50 and 70 million for the sports center! The details…

De Laurentiis has personally visited the territories of Succivo on more than one occasion, which have been talked about for the past 48 hours. The 'project' has been ongoing for at least 6 months. The last meeting (for now), the 'decisive' one, was on August 12th. While the Abruzzo retreat was concluding, the patron was simultaneously working on multiple fronts: the centenary film, organizing next year's anniversary, artistic meetings with Geolier, and, of course, the Sports Center. Aware that the story with Castel Volturno is now at its end. The 240,000 sqm lands in the Teverolaccio area, privately owned, will be purchasable by Napoli for just under 3 million euros. And, of course, the patron made sure to have reassurances on everything: there are already approvals from the Superintendency and related entities for the complete redevelopment of the area, the management of highway junctions (already present, but obviously need to be modernized and improved for new uses), and the intended use. In reality, the redevelopment of the area is a project that has been ongoing for a while and will not only concern Napoli but would place De Laurentiis's club at the center of everything. There is enough space for about ten fields of every size and quality – as per the patron's idea –, for a guesthouse, and to actively move all the club's activities into new, welcoming, and up-to-date offices. Above all, there must be the new facility that will host the home games of Napoli's Primavera. A structure with at least 500-1000 seats that will be available to all youth teams but, above all, will allow the club's second team not to wander aimlessly around Campania in search of a home. In total, investments of at least 50-70 million will be needed to realize everything envisioned. The timeline? If everything proceeds smoothly, the actual purchase of the available funds could occur between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. From then on, any moment would be good for the first stone. Which could even be the same one seen in a photo last September 1st on ADL's social media. Even if only for good luck.
