BRIEF - Lavezzi risks two year exile, say Napoli
MILAN (Reuters) - Napoli's Argentina striker Ezequiel Lavezzi risks being left out of the team for two years if he does not show more commitment to the Serie A club, president Aurelio De Laurentiis has said.
Lavezzi is seeking an improved contract or a move away but De Laurentiis is fed up with player power and has warned the 24-year-old not to dig his heels in.
"If he does, he will not play. He will stay out of the side for the next two years. Imagine what damage that will do to his profile," De Laurentiis told reporters late on Friday.
