Napoli confirm talks for Lyon midfielder Gonalons

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has confirmed interest for Lyon midfielder Maxime Gonalons.

Gonalons is being linked with a summer move to Naples.

ADL said: "We will have time to think about it. I found an immediate agreement with Gonalons, but it was Aulas to dug his heels in and pushed things beyond every level.

"Now I don't want to take revenge on Lyon, as that is not part of my nature. Everyone thinks they have gems and ask for outlandish prices.

"With Rafa Benitez and Riccardo Bigon we are considering the situation. The problem is that I prefer focusing on youngsters, as more experienced players can also be a little spoilt. They can do well the first year, but nothing says they'll keep that up in the second or third."
