The summer transfer window is in full swing. All European clubs are looking for the best opportunities to strengthen their squads next season.
Some players would also like to change air and find a new place to stay. This is the case of a Napoli executive, Stanislav Lobotka. The Slovakian midfielder is an important pawn of the Italian club and its selection (he has just been eliminated from the Euro by England in the round of 16).
However, the number 68 of SSC Napoli would not be against a new challenge and would have sent an appeal to FC Barcelona. I would like to play in a top club. But for now I am in Naples, I am happy to be here, I have a contract and an Italian family. If I received an offer from a big club, I would accept it. But it would not be a problem if I stayed, “ he said in remarks reported by the Sports Gazette.
Before continuing : “I am satisfied and my sporting situation will not influence my life… Barça? The transfer window is open and anything can happen. It is a club that I have followed since I was little, at the time of Deco and Ronaldinho. I have always supported it and it is a matter of heart. If an offer came, I would like to go there. But as I said, I am happy in Naples.”
Under contract until June 2027
Having arrived in Naples from Celta de Vigo during the 2020 summer transfer window, Stanislav Lobotka has established himself as one of the key players in the Italian squad with whom he won the Italian championship title in the 2022-2023 season.
Positioned in front of the defense in a Regista role, he is indispensable for his teammates. But, the Slovak seems to be tempted by a new challenge. For the moment, a departure is far from being a done deal. The midfielder is under contract until June 2027 with a market value that reaches 28 million euros according to the site Transfermarkt. Aurelio De Laurentiis could perhaps offer him a release voucher this summer. To be continued…
