New Napoli winger David Neres was robbed at gunpoint outside the Diego Maradona stadium after helping Antonio Conte’s side defeat Parma 2-1 in Saturday’s Serie A game.
The incident was revealed by Neres’ wife Kira Winona on Instagram.
The thieves were driving a motorcycle and smashed the car not too far away from the stadium.
According to Calciomercato.com, (Via Football Italia) Neres was heading to the Grand Hotel Parker’s with his wife and daughter and was robbed of a Rolex watch.
Neres and his family were clearly shocked, so the winger didn’t stop to sign autographs for fans outside the hotel, which led his wife to offer her apology through her official Instagram account.
“David would like to say sorry to the fans who were waiting outside for him,” Winona wrote in an Instagram story.
“While trying to leave the stadium after the game, two men on a motorcycle smashed the car and robbed him at gunpoint.”
Neres joined Napoli from Benfica this summer, completing a permanent €28m transfer.
The Brazil international provided two assists in Napoli opening two games, including one for André Zambo Anguissa’s winner against Parma.
