Theo Hernandez-Napoli link fuels Maradona Jr warning on Napoli’s left

Diego Armando Maradona Jr., speaking on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, dissected the latest market chatter surrounding Theo Hernandez and Giovanni Gutierrez, concentrating on Napoli’s left‑flank options; the analysis was highlighted on Google Discover among the Fonti preferite and featured in Stampa A&minus A+ coverage.

Theo Hernandez told Napoli reporters, "I don’t know why there has been talk in recent days about me; I am a strong player of great level. Obviously we need to see if there are foundations to continue the negotiation."

Maradona Jr. explained that Napoli currently relies on three players for that side – Oliveira, Spinazzola and Gutierrez – and that any decision will have to consider this trio.

He added, "If the Theo Hernandez negotiation gains momentum, it is normal for Napoli to off‑load at least two of those three, because otherwise the squad becomes overcrowded."

Regarding Gutierrez, Maradona Jr. said, "We must evaluate him not only on technical‑tactical grounds but also on his future prospects."

He continued, "Theo Hernandez is not an old player without a heavy identity card, but Gutierrez is young; Napoli bet on him and invested a significant sum last year, and I do not know if the club wants to change that project now."

On the financial side, he warned, "The only thing that makes me doubtful about this deal is that Theo Hernandez carries very, very high costs."

Finally, Maradona Jr. concluded, "The society must carefully balance technical needs with economic reality, taking into account the future of the players already in the squad."
