Antonio Vergara is coming off a very positive season with Reggiana, where he showcased technical skills and a capacity for constant growth.

Napoli, Conte secures Vergara: Cremonese's offensive rejected

Vergara, equipped with a good physical structure and remarkable qualities in the build-up phase, convinced Conte to focus on him. The Neapolitan club, led by president Aurelio De Laurentiis, accepted the coach's request and decided to keep the former Reggiana player at least until the end of the current season. The goal is to allow the midfielder to complete his growth path in a high-level environment, under the guidance of an experienced and rigorous coach like Conte. Despite the interest shown by several Serie A teams, with Cremonese at the forefront among the clubs interested in a loan, Napoli has decided to reject all proposals. This is confirmed by Nicolò Schira, a journalist specializing in the transfer market, who explained on social networks how the decision to retain Vergara is the result of a specific request from the coach: “Antonio Conte appreciates him a lot and asked the club to keep him,” wrote Schira, highlighting the trust the coach places in the young midfielder.
