Don targets Mutu
Thursday 25 June, 2009

Former Italy boss Roberto Donadoni has made it clear that in order to be a contender Napoli need to sign big players such as Adrian Mutu.

The Romanian has been linked to the Azzurri in the past few weeks and could move to the San Paolo for around £10m.

“Adrian is a charismatic player, someone who can lead a team by the hand,” said Donadoni.

“If we want to win trophies we need to sign people like him.”

The Campani are not the only ones after him though as Wolfsburg, Zenit St Petersburg, Shakthar Donetsk and Besiktas have all submitted enquires.

“I remember Mutu missed a penalty against as at the European Championship,” added Donadoni.

“We were lucky because otherwise we would have gone home earlier. But he is a big player.”

Meanwhile, Napoli have officially signed Morgan De Sanctis from Sevilla. The Italian international spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and is said to be delighted at the opportunity to return to Italy.
