De Laurentiis: I dream of Messi for Napoli

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that it is his dream to sign Barcelona star Lionel Messi, due in no small part to the Argentine's personality, as well as his footballing ability, Goal.com reported.

"My dream is Messi," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He doesn't even have a tattoo. He's a footballing dream, and is very cinematic."

"I said this last year and will repeat it: we must finish in the top five in the league," he stressed.
