From Spain – Juanlu to Napoli: agreement reached for 18 million plus bonuses

Juanlu, an international in the Spanish youth teams and Olympic champion with Spain in Paris 2024, chose Napoli among the numerous offers received, including Premier League clubs such as Wolverhampton. His preference for Serie A tipped the balance in favor of the Neapolitan club, despite the economically superior proposals coming from the Premier.

Sporting Director Giovanni Manna personally conducted the negotiation at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, finalizing the terms of a five-year contract already agreed with the player more than a month ago.

Appearances and performance

In the last season, Juanlu made 35 appearances between LaLiga and Copa del Rey, contributing with 5 goals and 5 assists. His international experience and dynamic physique make him an ideal element for Antonio Conte's Napoli, who can count on him as a right winger for thrust and offensive support.

Transfer timings

Despite being fielded in the starting lineup on the first day of Liga against Athletic Club – a choice also dictated by numerous absences in the squad – his use on the field does not affect the transfer. Napoli hopes to formalize the transfer and the official announcement within a few days, making Juanlu the new summer reinforcement to complete the squad in view of the Serie A and Champions League season.
