He is an important player for Napoli but he is not the captain of the team. I think he's at the same level as Barcelona don't think so. I don't know if I should give him what he wants or not.

We don't pay a lot of attention to other clubs. What we need is what the focus is on. I said it to him and he said it to me as well. I am also involved in giving him what he wants. I want to do what's best for the club.

He understands that he doesn't like it, but he doesn't like it very much. The other club is always on him. When things calm down, he can play his best.
