Alex Meret set to extend contract with Napoli until 2027

Alex Meret is about to sign a new contract with Napoli that runs until June 2027. Everything is ready except for the official announcement. Meret will earn about €2.5 million per season over the next two years.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Napoli have made a full agreement with Alex Meret for a new contract extension. The Italian goalkeeper, who has been the club’s number one for several seasons, will stay with Napoli for two more years. His contract will now end in 2027. The new deal makes sure he stays an important part of the team. He’s getting a big raise, with a salary of around €2.5 million per season. All the paperwork is ready, and fans are just waiting for the official announcement from the club’s management team.

MERET’S SEASON AND NAPOLI’S CHALLENGES

Meret has played in 33 games for Napoli during the 2024/25 Serie A season. Despite some ups and downs, he’s remained the first-choice goalkeeper. He’s helped Napoli keep important clean sheets and has shown leadership at the back. However, Napoli’s season has been disappointing compared to last year’s title-winning run. The team is currently in 8th place in Serie A, six points away from the European qualification spots. But their defense has improved recently, partly due to Meret’s consistency.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR NAPOLI AND MERET?

Now that his contract is sorted, Meret can fully concentrate on the rest of the season and getting ready for next year. Napoli’s next challenge is a big league match against Torino, who are just one point behind them in 9th place. Both teams are trying for European football, and Napoli needs a win to close the gap to Lazio in 7th. For Meret, this extension secures his place in the club’s plans. Napoli are trying to rebuild and get back to the top of Italian football.
