Sporting join race for Italy right-back, but signs are poor | OneFootball

Sporting are trying to secure the signing of Costantino Favasuli, a 20-year-old right-back who plays for Catanzaro. The young defender is seen as a player with great potential, but the Lions are facing strong competition.

According to journalist Nicolò Schira, Napoli remain in the lead in the race for the young Italy international. The Naples club is closely following the process and, at this stage, appears to be the most likely destination for the footballer.

Favasuli was one of Catanzaro’s standout players last season. Playing for the Italian second-division side, the full-back made 42 official appearances, scoring two goals and providing six assists.

His ability to cover the entire right flank and his room for development have attracted the attention of bigger clubs. Sporting are trying to stay in the race, although they know they will have to overcome the favourable position Napoli have secured.

The young defender’s future is expected to involve a transfer in this summer window. Sporting’s SAD is monitoring developments, while Catanzaro await concrete offers to negotiate the departure of one of the squad’s key players.
