Napoli president De Laurentiis: Who'd want to live in Liverpool?

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has enjoyed a dig at Champions League rivals Liverpool.

The movie mogul took the swipe when discussing former Azzurri striker Edinson Cavani's life at PSG.

He told Le Parisien: "Can you imagine waking up every day in Liverpool?,' he said. 'You only have the house of the Beatles, Abbey Road.

"In Paris, there's loads of things to see, but the climate isn't great like in Naples.

"You'd have to be crazy not to be happy in Naples. At home, I have the best view of Rome, but I'd always swap it for that of Naples, just like my house in Los Angeles. These kids (the players) have to wake up, train and they're done for the day. We pay them to have fun.

"They also have the freedom of living in an idyllic situation."
