Tardelli: Absolutely. it speaks volumes about the respect Kvara has for Napoli and their idol, Maradona. This city lived and breathed football during Maradona’s time, and that passion carries on. For a player to pay such a tribute, even in secrecy, shows a certain level of understanding and connection with the club’s soul.

tardelli: Football is a business, and transfers happen. Players move on to better opportunities. While I understand the fans’ hurt, labeling this gesture as purely calculated feels a bit cynical. It’s easy to forget the joy Kvara brought to this city. Two Serie A titles in two seasons is no small feat.
