Turin, 13 March (LaPresse) – ‘Are we already planning for next season with Conte? It’s normal; you always plan. We’ve known each other for two years, and the work that’s been done is incredible and positive. Under different circumstances, we wouldn’t be third in the table and we wouldn’t have won a Super Cup; we’d be talking about something else. So we’re looking to the future with calm and confidence.’ So said Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna in an interview with Sportmediaset. “Scott is an important player; he’s happy to be at Napoli, and I think he shows that when he plays and when he experiences the city. He still has two years left on his contract; we have an extremely clear and frank relationship with him,” he added regarding McTominay’s future. “We’re talking, but it’s not a pressing issue. We know how important Scott is; to date, we haven’t received any offers, partly because the player has never expressed a desire to move on. Alisson Santos’s impact? It’s been positive because he’s a very humble lad, full of energy and a hard worker. As for the buy-back clause, there’s a right that’s already been established, so there’s no need to do anything.”
