Naples, turning point on Lobotka’s future: the move changes everything

Nothing to do for Stanislav Lobotka: the club’s choice has shuffled the cards on the table in terms of the transfer market.

Stanislav Lobotka, Napoli’s cornerstone despite a less than exciting season for the Neapolitan club, is ready to end the football year with the blue jersey. The Slovakian midfielder will be involved in the next European Championship with Mr. Calzona and his Slovakia. The number 68 will have the opportunity to demonstrate his full value in front of the whole of Europe.

His quality has stimulated the interest of the major clubs in circulation but also convinced Napoli that his contribution is essential for the performance of the entire team. De Laurentiis doesn’t want to sell him and only one club could have teased the same player: Barcelona. The Catalan club has never hidden the respect it has for him: XaviIndeed, he has repeatedly stated that he wants him on his team. A move by Barça, however, shuffled the cards on the table and guaranteed the Azzurri that Lobotka would remain under the shadow of Vesuvius.

The footballer, who arrived in Naples in January 2020, is ready to play a fundamental role in the reconstruction project after a disastrous year in which his tears at the end of some defeats hinted at the love that the Slovakian feels for the blue shirt .

Goodbye Xavi, Barça changes its future plans

Next year the flag and coach Xavi will no longer be the manager of Barcelona. A choice already made and declared during this season despite there being signs of rapprochement between him and president Laporta. Therefore the Blaugrana club will change manager and the main suspect would appear to be Hansi Flick, former coach of Bayern Munich and Germany.

As reported by “The morning”, Barcelona’s transfer strategy will change after the announcement of the new coach and consequently the odds regarding Lobotka’s stay in the Campania capital rise. Its market value is around 30 million euroswith a contract expiring on June 30, 2027.

The Slovakian midfielder now only thinks about finishing the season and trying to make a good impression Euro 2024. The figure of the new coach at Napoli will be crucial for the future of number 68. With the Napoli shirt he made 162 appearances with 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 seasons. During his career with the Azzurri he managed to win the 2019/20 Italian Cup and above all the Scudetto in the 2023/24 season.
