This season Napoli has loaned many players to the smaller teams in Serie A. At the end of the season they will return to base. He writes about it Corriere dello Sport.
Napoli’s loans: great expectations for Caprile and Folorunsho
Napoli is ready to embrace them again. Long list: from Gaetano to Folorunsho, from Cheddira to Caprile, there are several loan players close to returning home. Gaetano and Zerbin chose to start again from Cagliari and Monza in January. Already three goals for Gaetano (24 years old) while Zerbin (25), after several benches, has begun to carve out his space with Palladino. Two games ago, against the Azzurri, he was also the protagonist with the assist for Djuric’s goal. He wears the gloves and occasionally the cape Caprile, aged 22, on loan to Empoli where he plays, saves, does feats and has fun. There is also great anticipation for the return of Folorunsho (26), goals and assists in Verona, already called up by Spalletti with Italy. He is playing with a certain continuity Zanoli (23) in Salerno: 11 appearances and a couple of assists in the championship. Napoli will also soon discover the talented Popovic, an 18-year-old Serbian, filmed at Monza in January; for him only a few moments with the Primavera.
The former Bari goalkeeper could take Meret’s place
The Gazzetta dello Sport wrote it.
A catchphrase that comes up again now, given his contractual situation and the investment already made by the club. Meret’s contract expires on June 30, but his contract includes a renewal option upon reaching 70 percent of attendance. In fact, he will start automatically but his agent has already announced that he does not intend to let his client experience a summer like Zielinski’s: essentially, he will not play with his contract expiring, or he will extend the agreement by at least two seasons or will ask for the transfer. Hypothesis to keep in mind, given that in the summer Napoli will welcome Elia Caprile, taken a year ago from Bari and loaned to Empoli, where he is making his strong contribution in the race for salvation. And, ironically, on Saturday the present and the future will compete at the Castellani, a stadium that evokes bad memories in Meret: in Spalletti’s first year he was the protagonist of another bad mistake with his feet which allowed Empoli to overturn the match, putting an end to Napoli’s remaining scudetto hopes.
