De Laurentiis: Arsenal's Insigne interest makes me laugh

De Laurentiis: Arsenal's Insigne interest makes me laugh 

The Napoli president has no desire to sell the 23-year-old, despite the Gunners' overtures, and also poured cold water on a potential bid for Tottenham winger Erik Lamela
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis says Arsenal's interest in Lorenzo Insigne makes him “laugh.”

Insigne's agent appeared to open the door to a potential move to the Emirates on Saturday, telling
Tuttomercatoweb: “We are honoured that a club like Arsenal could have Lorenzo on their wish list.”

Reports have suggested Arsenal could table a £20m bid for the 23-year-old, but De Laurentiis claims he has not intention of allowing the player to leave.

“Arsenal offers 20 million for Insigne? This makes me laugh. I want to make Insigne rise to a value of 60-70 million,” he told Repubblica

De Laurentiis also admits the club were interested in signing Javier Mascherano – who renewed his contract with Barcelona earlier this week – but says they “wanted him only on loan.”
