Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reportedly been given police protection due to increasing tensions between him and some of the club's supporters.
According to ANSA, the measures have been put in place after a protest from the Partenopei ultras, who were silent during the 4-0 defeat to AC Milan earlier this month.
The ultras lit flares inside the stadium as they expressed their disapproval with ticket prices as well as strict rules regarding banners and flags.
Napoli's 1-0 defeat to AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final certainly won't have helped the mood surrounding the club.
However, despite the dissatisfaction with De Laurentiis, Napoli are top of Serie A and are 13 points clear of their closest challengers Lazio with a game in hand. Napoli haven't won the title since 1990.
Napoli are back in action on Saturday evening when they host Verona.
They then welcome Milan to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in the Champions League as they look to overturn their 1-0 deficit from the first leg following Ismael Bennacer's strike.
The cheapest tickets for the game are €90, (£80), which has caused tension amongst Napoli fans.
De Laurentiis bought Napoli in 2004 when the club was bankrupt and had been relegated to the third tier of Italian football.
