Matteo Politano Signs New Napoli Deal Until 2028

Matteo Politano has signed a new contract with Napoli, extending his stay at the club until June 2028. This move keeps one of Napoli’s key wingers for three more years as they rebuild their team for the future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Napoli have reached an agreement with Matteo Politano to extend his contract until the summer of 2028. Politano joined Napoli in 2020 from Inter and has played over 230 games, scoring 34 goals and providing 35 assists. The contract talks have lasted several months, but Politano will continue to play an important role in Napoli’s attack for three more seasons. He is set to earn a net annual salary of about €3 million, reflecting his importance and consistency on the field.

NAPOLI’S SEASON AND POLITANO’S IMPACT

This season, Napoli have faced challenges but are still in the hunt for a European spot in Serie A. As of late September, they are at the top in the table, with 2 points more than 2nd placed Juventus and a 100% winning record in their opening 4 matches. Politano has been a regular starter, contributing six goals and seven assists in 32 league appearances last season. His experience brings leadership to a team that has seen coaching changes and inconsistent performance since winning the Scudetto in 2022/23. Napoli’s attack often relies on Politano’s ability to cross and cut inside from the right wing.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR POLITANO AND NAPOLI

Napoli’s next match is a crucial away game against in-form AC Milan, who are just behind them in the table in 3rd place, with 9 points and three behind Napoli after four games. Both teams are fighting for European places, and the result could significantly impact the final standings. The club’s management is expected to continue building a new-look squad around reliable players like Politano, as they aim to return to the Champions League next season. Politano’s new deal offers stability and signals the intent to retain key players in Naples.
