“It is utter nonsense to claim that there could be any kind of jealousy in the squad (if Van Persie becomes the highest-paid player),” Quagliarella said to Sky Sport Italia.
“If an excellent footballer like Van Persie joins the club, it’s only normal that he’s given a good contract. That really won’t affect the morale in a squad like ours.”
