Alex Meret and Napoli, moving forward together? Yes, absolutely, this is what the latest radio market reports say. Because for the Italian club the renewal of its goalkeeper has always been a priority, even more so after the last excellent performances of the goalkeeper born in '97, who was decisive in the Ferraris match against Genoa with at least two miracles. And so the contract extension now seems closer than ever, according to what was reported by Corriere dello Sport.
The parties are now close to an agreement to extend the contract, which expires in June. The Italian sporting director, Manna, also confirmed this before the match against Genoa. A further step forward occurred on 12 December, with a meeting in Castel Volturno between the club and the player's entourage. The progress concerns both the salary and the duration of the contract, which could be two or three years.
The will is clear on both sides: to continue together. Meret wishes to stay at Napoli and continue to defend the blue goal, while De Laurentiis' club has no intention of letting him leave. While waiting for the official announcement, the goalkeeper remains focused on the pitch, where he has already established himself as a protagonist since August. Decisive on penalties against Modena in the Italian Cup, Meret has been punctual and reliable in matches against Bologna, Parma, Cagliari and, now, Genoa.
