    His form over the campaign has brought a shock return to the Italian national team and according to De Laurentiis, Napoli are interested in making a move for Naples-born Quagliarella, who spent a season at the San Paolo between 2009 and 2010.<\/p>\n

    In his sole playing season for Napoli, Quagliarella made 37 appearances across all competitions and scored 11 goals, all of which came in Serie A.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI think he deserves this opportunity,\u201d De Laurentiis told reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be an economic issue for us or him. Rather, it\u2019ll be a romantic solution for him to end his career in Naples after what happened to him last time.”<\/p>\n

    After just one season with Napoli, Quagliarella left to join archrivals Juventus on loan before making the deal permanent a year later.<\/p>\n

    The move made Quagliarella hated among the most-ardent of Napoli fans who believed he had money on his mind. But it was later revealed<\/a> that the Italian had to leave the club of his dreams due to being\u00a0terrorised by a stalker for five years.<\/p>\n
