Simone Verdi, at the end of the friendly match between Italy and the Netherlands, has released the following statement, confirming his imminent move to Napoli:
"With Acelotti, for now I had an informal chat - I have always been consistent with my choice in January - that was not a 'no' to the city of Napoli or Sarri. This was proven by the fact that I accepted the proposal in this transfer window".
