Gutierrez to Napoli: Real Madrid approve, Spaniard set to join | OneFootball

Napoli is ready to welcome its seventh summer signing: Miguel Gutierrez from Girona is a done deal. There was already an agreement with the club and the player, but the final okay from Real Madrid, which holds the right of repurchase, was still needed. However, Real Madrid has decided not to exercise this right, and now only the final details need to be ironed out before Gutierrez becomes a new Napoli player.

While waiting to close the deal for Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla, Napoli has made another move: Miguel Gutierrez from Girona is set to join the team. The left-back will sign a five-year contract worth around €2.3 million per season, while Girona will receive €20 million. The only thing that was needed was the final okay from Real Madrid, which held the right of repurchase, but the Blancos have made it known that they will not exercise this right, and therefore Napoli is free to complete the deal. The left-back will not be available to Antonio Conte immediately: he underwent surgery on his right ankle in July and it is likely that he will not be available to Conte before the international break in September.

A dynamic left-back, one of the best in his position in the last two La Liga seasons, particularly two years ago, when the club achieved a remarkable qualification for the Champions League. His specialty is certainly providing assists, but he is also very skilled at cutting inside and making runs into the box. A player suited to Antonio Conte's game, who wanted him specifically for his characteristics. This is a deal that has been in the works since the beginning of the summer, but only advanced in the last week, given the difficulties in finding a left winger. In fact, with his arrival, if no one else arrives as a backup for Lang, Leonardo Spinazzola will cover that role.
