Napoli close to €14m Elmas deal, return imminent | OneFootball

The blue club is ready to welcome back the Macedonian joker: medical examinations and signature expected soon.

Napoli, countdown to the return of Elmas: a 14 million deal in the final details

Napoli is preparing to welcome back Eljif Elmas, the protagonist of the third Scudetto in the 2022/23 season and ready to return to the shadow of Vesuvius after his experience at Leipzig and the stint at Turin in the garnet jersey.

The operation is now in the final details: once the last bureaucratic steps are completed, the player will undergo medical examinations before signing the new contract and returning to Antonio Conte's disposal.

The financial details of the operation

The agreement between Napoli and Leipzig involves a burdensome loan of 2 million euros with a right of redemption set at 12 million, for a total expenditure that could reach 14 million euros. A formula that allows the Neapolitan club to best manage the investment, evaluating the player's performances in the current season.

Elmas, tied to Leipzig until 2028, will sign a contract with Napoli until 2030 (1+4 years) with a salary estimated at around 3 million euros net per season.

A versatile reinforcement for Conte's project

The arrival of Elmas represents a valuable resource for Antonio Conte, who can count on a fast, technical and versatile player, capable of adapting to different positions in the middle of the field and on the external lanes. During his first experience in the blue jersey (2019-2024), the Macedonian made 189 appearances and scored 19 goals, contributing significantly to the club's recent successes.

Courted also by Turin, Roma and West Ham in this transfer session, Elmas has chosen to return to Napoli to relaunch his career and offer quality and depth to the squad.
