Napoli: Rrahmani signs new deal until 2028, option for extra year | OneFootball

Il Mattino reports, highlighting how the Neapolitan club has decided to reward the player with one of the highest salaries on the team.

Napoli, renewal until 2028 for Rrahmani: deal done with an option for another season

Amir Rrahmani and Napoli will continue together for a long time. The Kosovar defender, a cornerstone of the Azzurri's defense, has reached a total agreement for a contract renewal until 2028, with an option for an additional season.

“Rrahmani-Napoli, total agreement: contract until 2028”

“The renewal is ready, only the signatures are missing,” writes the newspaper. The new agreement will extend the deadline from 2027 to June 30, 2028, the year in which the defender will turn 34. The contract will also include an option for the club to extend for another season, a clause that could effectively tie Rrahmani to Napoli until 2029.

On the economic front, the defender will continue to earn about 4.1 million euros net per season, confirming himself among the highest-paid players in the Azzurri squad.

A quick negotiation, desired by both parties

The negotiation, explains Il Mattino, was not particularly long or complex. Sporting director Giovanni Manna decided to move well in advance, securing the availability of the player and his entourage even before the natural expiration of the contract.

Rrahmani, for his part, has always expressed the desire to stay in Naples, a city where he has fully integrated both on and off the field. The agreement, therefore, came naturally: a signature that represents the common desire to continue a well-established technical and human project.

Conte considers him a leader, De Laurentiis a locker room man

Rrahmani's renewal was strongly supported by Antonio Conte, who considers him a pillar of the defensive line and a point of reference for younger teammates. The coach sees him as a reliable player, with personality and tactical sense, fundamental characteristics for the solidity of the defensive department.

Aurelio De Laurentiis also expressed great esteem for the Kosovar, describing him as an exemplary “locker room man,” always professional and away from controversies.

In the coming days, the player's agent is expected in Naples to finalize the bureaucratic details and formalize the signatures.

A renewal that rewards consistency and leadership

Rrahmani, who arrived in Naples in 2020, has managed over time to secure a permanent starting role, becoming one of the symbols of the team's defensive growth in recent years. With the extension until 2028, the defender is preparing to close his Italian career in Azzurri, crowning a path of continuity and high-level performance.

For Napoli, the renewal represents a strategic move, not only to secure a key element but also to convey a message of stability and trust to the environment.
