Napoli, push for Gutierrez and Miretti: advanced negotiations with Girona and Juventus

Napoli continues to move decisively in the market, strengthening the squad ahead of the return to the Champions League. Two objectives are now well-defined: Miguel Gutierrez, Girona's left-back, and Fabio Miretti, Juventus' 2003-born midfielder. Two separate operations, but they fit into a common design: to provide Antonio Conte with a younger, more complete, and competitive team already from the summer retreat.

Gutierrez increasingly close: agreement with Girona 📝 Miguel Gutierrez, 24, is a profile that Napoli has been following for some time. The Neapolitan club had already attempted to sign him in January and at the beginning of the summer, but only now are concrete progress being made. According to sources close to the negotiation, a basic agreement would be reached with Girona, based on around 18 million euros, with some bonuses still to be refined. The player, who grew up in Real Madrid's youth academy, is ready to sign a five-year contract worth over 2 million net per season.

His arrival would fill one of the most delicate gaps in Conte's squad, offering a quality alternative and prospect on the left flank, a strategic role also for a possible 3-5-2 formation by the Salento coach.

Miretti has said yes: now negotiating with Juventus 📝 More complex, but still ongoing, is the negotiation with Juventus for Fabio Miretti, a technical and dynamic midfielder. The midfielder has already expressed his willingness to transfer to Napoli and face a new challenge. However, an economic agreement between the clubs still needs to be found.

The first attempt by DS Giovanni Manna stopped at 10 million euros, an offer rejected by Damien Comolli, who is asking for at least 20. However, the gap does not seem insurmountable: an agreement halfway, around 15 million, could definitively unblock the operation.

A coherent technical project 📝 Both players – 24-year-old Gutierrez, 22-year-old Miretti – represent prospective investments, but already ready for a starring role. Napoli wants to expand its roster with functional additions to Conte's system, capable of guaranteeing freshness and quality even in the long term. If the operations go through, the team will have an even clearer identity: young, dynamic, and structured to face commitments on multiple fronts.
