Napoli Set to Sign Miguel Gutierrez from Girona on Five-Year Deal

Napoli are close to signing Miguel Gutierrez from Girona. The Spanish left-back is expected to join on a deal until June 2030. According to recent reports, Miguel Gutierrez has accepted Napoli’s offer and is working on personal terms for a five-year contract.

TRANSFER DETAILS AGREED

Napoli and Girona are finalizing Miguel Gutierrez‘s transfer. The 24-year-old left-back, who excelled in La Liga, is set to join for more than €18 million. Napoli made him a priority for the summer window, and the transfer represents a strategic reinforcement for Girona as they aim to improve upon a disappointing season. Gutierrez’s five-year contract with Napoli is pending only administrative details. The left-back, who recently had ankle surgery, is recovering but is expected to be fit after the September international break.

NAPOLI’S AMBITIONS WITH GUTIERREZ

Antonio Conte’s Napoli squad is strengthening following a Serie A title win last season. With Kevin De Bruyne, Sam Beukema, and Noa Lang already acquired, Gutierrez will add pace and tactical acumen to Conte’s 4-3-3 system, which relies on dynamic full-backs. The Spaniard will compete for a starting spot and strengthen Napoli’s defense as they prepare for another season in both Serie A and the Champions League. Gutierrez had drawn interest from Premier League clubs, but Napoli moved quickly to secure his signature.

LOOKING AHEAD: IMPACT ON BOTH CLUBS

The addition of Gutierrez is timely for Napoli as they look to defend their Serie A championship. Napoli are one of the favorites heading into this season, following a title-clinching win against Cagliari on the last day of the previous campaign. Girona, who finished 16th in La Liga during the 2024-25 season, struggling to not get relegated one season after being qualified for the Champions League for the first time, loses a significant player but gains transfer cash as they prepare for the new season. Napoli’s next opponent, newly-promoted Sassuolo, is seeking improvement. With Inter, Juventus, Roma and Milan bolstering their squads, signing Gutierrez could be crucial for Napoli to remain atop a very competitive league.
