Meret’s new contract that’ll keep him at Napoli until 2028 shows how much he wants to stay with the club. His time with Napoli hasn’t always been easy but he’s been really good which makes him super important for their team.
Strengthening Napoli’s Goalkeeping Department
Besides keeping Meret, Napoli is also getting Simone Scuffet as a backup keeper. Scuffet who’s played a lot in Italy for teams like Udinese and Spezia, is known to be good at stopping shots and staying calm in goal. Scuffet will give Napoli more options in goal. He’s played for lots of different teams on loan and stuff which means he’s got good experience for this new job in Serie A.
Caprile’s Move to Cagliari
Also young keeper Elia Caprile is going to Cagliari which is pretty big for his career. Caprile who’s really quick and good at reacting, should make Cagliari’s team better. This fits with what Cagliari wants to do getting young players who could be really good later.
