Recent reports indicate that Leonardo Spinazzola is increasingly likely to depart Napoli once his contract concludes at the end of the season. This situation could make him available as a free agent, with both Juventus and Milan expressing potential interest.
The Italian international, Spinazzola, is in the final months of his agreement with Napoli, which officially expires on June 30. The 33-year-old is nearing the end of a two-year deal signed after his departure from Roma on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.
While Napoli has reportedly explored possibilities for extending the left-back’s contract, current updates suggest that no final decision has been reached, and negotiations are at a standstill. A contributing factor to this lack of progress in talks between Spinazzola and Napoli is said to be the uncertainty surrounding the club’s head coach for the upcoming season.
This uncertainty may lead Spinazzola to leave Napoli at the season’s close, potentially paving the way for a move to either Milan or Juventus.
Reports suggest that Juventus might consider Spinazzola, along with Lorenzo Bernasconi from Atalanta, if Andrea Cambiaso departs the club during the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Milan could be looking to part ways with Pervis Estupiñán following a disappointing start to his tenure at San Siro and might turn to the experienced Spinazzola for cover and competition for the young Davide Bartesaghi.
English Translation:
Reports on Thursday indicate that Leonardo Spinazzola is increasingly likely to leave Napoli upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season, which could allow him to join either Juventus or Milan on a free transfer.
The Italy international is in the final few months of his deal with Napoli, which officially ends on June 30. The 33-year-old is concluding a two-year contract he signed after leaving Roma for free in the summer of 2024.
Napoli has reportedly considered contract extension options for the left-back. However, according to updates from Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, a final decision has not yet been made, and discussions are currently stalled.
Further reports suggest that part of the reason for the negotiation standstill between Spinazzola and Napoli stems from uncertainties about who will be the club’s head coach next season. This is partly due to ongoing links suggesting Antonio Conte might return to the Italy national team setup to replace Gennaro Gattuso as CT.
Consequently, Spinazzola is increasingly likely to depart Napoli at the end of the season, which could open up a potential move to either Milan or Juventus.
Recent reports claim Juventus might target both Spinazzola and Atalanta’s Lorenzo Bernasconi if Andrea Cambiaso leaves the club during the summer transfer window. In parallel, Milan could look to move on Pervis Estupiñán after a disappointing start at San Siro and might turn to the experienced Spinazzola to provide cover and competition for the young Davide Bartesaghi.
