Meret Renewal, Agent Speaks: “Conte is a direct person, he told me something before the signing”

After a summer marked by rumors about his future, Alex Meret signed a contract renewal with Napoli that will tie him to the Azzurri until 2027. His agent Federico Pastorello clarified what happened, revealing behind-the-scenes details about the renewal and more.

These were his words: “Everything was very clear with Napoli and especially with the coach. Conte is an extremely direct person, and because of this, you rarely have problems because he tells you things clearly from the start. Before renewing, the coach made this clear to me. He said: ‘I told the club that they need to renew Meret’s contract, but know that I also asked the club to bring in another first-choice goalkeeper with different characteristics. Then I will manage them based on the type of match. Before signingAlex knew this. The reality is that he is very attached to the city and the club. Napoli brought him to the national team, gave him great satisfaction, and in turn, he has given great satisfaction to the Neapolitan fans. His was truly a choice from the heart; we knew there would be a fight for the position. Now, unfortunately, he’s injured and unavailable, but as long as he was fit, the coach gave both of them playing time.”
