Aurelio De Laurentiis was quoted dismissing reports that he was in London to talk to Rafa Benitez about the club’s vacant managerial post.
Gazzetta.it quoted him as saying: “I did not go to London for Benítez. You would have me appointing 15 coaches: it’s true, I’ve heard them all in the last six months and I’m aware.
“Yesterday I was in London with [the managing director Andrea] Chiavelli and Bigon and for a simple reason: I have to prepare for the release of the film about Steve Jobs. However, I told Bigon: ‘Go to City and take the chance to negotiate over Dzeko and see what they are willing to do for Cavani.’
“Who will be the new coach? I don’t do things in a hurry. I’m trying to understand who will be the people to accompany me in the next journey.”
