Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka has a release clause of over €25 million in his contract, valid for the summer of 2025. The Slovakian international’s future is yet to be decided, with Lobotka focused on Napoli’s battle for the Serie A title, while interest grows from Saudi Arabian clubs.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Lobotka’s contract with Napoli features a release clause set at more than €25 million, giving clubs the option to secure his signature if they meet that amount next summer. Reports confirm that the clause will come into effect for the 2025 transfer window. As of now, Lobotka has not made any decisions regarding his future, preferring to keep his attention on Napoli’s campaign. Meanwhile, Saudi clubs have already made contact to express their interest and to be updated about his situation.
KEY ROLE IN NAPOLI’S SEASON
This season, Stanislav Lobotka has been a central figure for Napoli in midfield. His ability to control the game and break up opposition attacks has been vital. Napoli are currently tied on points with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A, making every match crucial in the title race. Lobotka’s consistent performances have helped Napoli maintain this pressure at the top, with the team also pushing for a strong finish in the Champions League.
WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT FOR LOBOTKA AND NAPOLI?
With the release clause only becoming active in summer 2025, Napoli are unlikely to rush any decision regarding Lobotka’s future. For now, both the club and the player are focused on their upcoming matches, including a key fixture against Monza next weekend. Napoli’s position at the top is under pressure from Inter Milan, with both teams sharing the lead and only a narrow gap separating them from third-placed Juventus. The coming weeks could decide the title, while clubs interested in Lobotka will have to wait until next year for a potential move.
