Napoli to dock half squad salary?

The open warfare between club and squad drags on after the team refused to go back into a training retreat, interrupting the week-long stay several days early.

Ever since then, Napoli have been in lockdown mode, banning their players from speaking to the media.

This was only reiterated last night when Napoli released a statement via their Twitter feed warning Eljif Elmas will be punished for giving an interview while on international duty with Macedonia.

This statement was greeted with shock and concern in Naples, as fans and media fear the club will implode if it continues to openly clash with its team.

There are limits on how much a player’s salary can be docked – 25 per cent – but it’s reported Napoli are appealing to the authorities to make that up to 50 per cent.
