Napoli seal deal for Hellas Verona star Giovane | OneFootball

Napoli have closed the deal for Hellas Verona starlet Giovane, reaching a total agreement with both the club and the player to finalize the transfer.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Partenopei reached a definitive agreement with the Brazilian midfielder today on personal terms. Giovane is set to commit his long-term future to Naples by signing a contract that runs until June 2031. This follows the breakthrough in negotiations with Verona, where a fee of €20 million was agreed upon to sanction the move.

The arrival of the 22-year-old is part of a significant reshuffle in Antonio Conte’s attacking options, which also sees Lorenzo Lucca depart for Nottingham Forest and Noa Lang head to Galatasaray. The club has wasted no time in scheduling the next steps, with Giovane expected to undergo his medical examinations tomorrow.

If the paperwork is processed swiftly following his medical, there is a concrete possibility that Giovane could be called up immediately, potentially making his debut in the high-stakes clash against Juventus this weekend.
