The first round in Court in Naples will take place on Wednesday morning. To simplify it will be Mino Raiola against Aurelio De Laurentiis. The issue is related to the fines requested by the company, after the mutiny of 5 November, and the arbitration boards that must be formed to establish the foundation of the club's accusations and the extent of the sanctions (approximately 2.5 million requested in total). Napoli has appointed the labor lawyer Bruno Piacci as its referee for the 24 colleges to be formed, the players have appointed several other experts as referees, but at the same time six players have requested the recusal of Piacci himself.
THE RECUSATION - In alphabetical order: Lorenzo Insigne, Hirving Lozano, Kostas Manolas, Dries Mertens, Arek Milik and Piotr Zielinski. All of Raiola's “area”, the powerful international agent. Through the lawyers, the six asked the Court of Naples to recuse Piacci, as participating in 24 different arbitrations (25 with Higuain's previous two years ago), nominated by the same side (Napoli) would lose its independent figure as " Super partes". For its part, the blue club will argue instead that the professional figure of Piacci cannot be considered partisan. A real war, the one between players and clubs, which began on November 5 and far from over. The decision of the Tribunal is expected no later than the following day and will obviously condition the creation of the arbitration panels themselves. Not before March will there be a definition of arbitration awards. And then there is the threat of De Laurentiis of civil lawsuit for damage to the image. Meanwhile, the team plunges, even if the connection - not the alibi - is unclear to someone.
