Aurelio De Laurentiis is planning to spend big this summer to help provide a squad that satisfies the demands of new manager Rafael Benitez. 

According to il Corriere dello Sport, Benitez has requested Mario Gomez, Marouane Fellaini and Martin Skrtel, the latter a player Benitez has previously signed during his spell as Liverpool manager.  These players would strengthen every department, providing the squad depth needed to challenge both domestically and on a European front.

By targeting such senior international players De Laurentiis is clearly signaling his intent for the season ahead, where Napoli are looking to improve on their 2nd place finish or at least maintain it.
