Napoli: Gutierrez completes medical, chasing Juanlu Sanchez | OneFootball

In the morning, the Spanish winger, born in 2001, arrived at Villa Stuart in Rome to undergo the customary medical examinations before signing the contract that will tie him to Napoli for five years.

Napoli, medicals for Gutierrez: seventh signing of the transfer window. Pressing for Juanlu Sanchez

Napoli secures its seventh signing of the summer session. Miguel Gutierrez, Spanish left-back born in 2001, arrived this morning at Villa Stuart in Rome to undergo medical tests before signing the contract that will bind him to the Azzurri club until 2030.

The agreement with Girona

The deal was closed on the basis of 18 million euros plus 2 million in bonuses. Girona will also receive a percentage on a future resale to be forwarded to Real Madrid, the club where the player grew up. Gutierrez will sign a contract worth 2.3 million euros net per season and, after the official presentation, will join his teammates at Castel Volturno to meet Antonio Conte and begin integrating into the group.

Recovery time

The full-back will not be available immediately: he must complete his recovery from a clean-up operation on his right ankle. The medical staff expects to have him available in a few weeks, so he can be gradually introduced into the new coach’s plans.

Focus on the right flank: target Juanlu Sanchez

With the left flank situation settled, Napoli now turns its attention to the opposite side of the pitch. The main target remains Juanlu Sanchez, right-back for Sevilla, who already started in the La Liga opener against Athletic Bilbao.

In recent hours, there have been new contacts with the Andalusian club: Napoli has put 17 million euros on the table and is awaiting a definitive response. President Aurelio De Laurentiis does not intend to increase the offer, confident in the agreement already reached with the player until 2030.

Transfer strategy

With Gutierrez and a possible addition on the right flank, Napoli would complete the overhaul of its defensive wings, following Antonio Conte’s requests for a competitive squad ahead of the new season.
