Napoli have Miguel Gutierrez in their grasp for €20m and agreed personal terms with the Girona player, but have still not made a decision on whether to sign him.

The left-back has just turned 24 last month and is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, who made the move to Girona FC in 2022.

Gutierrez has already agreed Napoli terms

As we already reported earlier this week, the interest had started in mid-May, before Napoli turned to look at other issues to resolve.

We added that a decision wouldn’t arrive in 24-48 hours from Wednesday, because the club is trying to reflect on the situation.

Indeed, we are now on Sunday and Napoli have still not pulled the trigger, quite simply because they are waiting for the next two friendly matches against Brest today and Casertana tomorrow morning.

After that, they can make a decision on whether to go all in or consider investing in other roles.
