loan to buy? money problems?
Correct.
Palermo are a small club, Napoli are a big club. Transfer dealings in Italy don't generally follow the same normalisms of everywhere else, so weird loan and co-ownership deals are usually just accepted rather than actually trying understand the logic behind them
Wish Inter had bought Cavani like.
Seems a bit strange though, they've been in and around Europe for a good few years and made a lot of money from the sale of Kjaer, Amauri etc I suspect. Napoli have only just returned to the upper echelons of Serie A anarl.
