La Gazzetta dello Sport (N. Berardino) – Now it’s more than just an idea. The Napoli is moving to hire Leonardo Spinazzola. Contacts have been initiated for the 31-year-old winger who today reaches the expiry of his contract with the Roma. His time in yellow and red will not go beyond the five seasons already archived. Now he is in the sights of Napoli. A solution for the left flank of the team that is taking shape in the name of Antonio Conte. If necessary Spinazzola it can also operate in the right lane.
Ductility is a factor that pushes in its favor. Also starting from a contractual situation that now sees him as a free agent. Therefore, a reinforcement that can be engaged by supporting only the weight of the engagement. Spinazzola combines physicality and technical qualities. With a performance driven by a personality who, even before wearing the shirt of Romasaw him establish himself in theAtalanta and in the Juventus. Achilles tendon rupture in theEuropean played three years ago had an impact on his career. Conditioning its rise precisely at the moment in which, with theItalia Of Manciniwas excelling internationally.
In the season just ended he played 36 games (24 in Serie A, 10 in the Europa League and 2 in the Coppa Italia), scoring one goal (against Milan, on the third day of the championship). In total he was on the pitch for 2,078 minutes. In the 3-4-3 that will outline the Napoli Of Conte, Spinazzola could be inserted on the left of the median. Entering the ballot with Olivera. But it can also be an option in a defensive key. His experience is proposed as a guarantee of reliability in a season that will see the Italian team playing only on the Italian stage without any showcase on the international level. A year governed by a less hectic calendar in terms of number of races to be played even if it will be decidedly demanding in terms of rebuilding a big name image of the Napoli. And in this sense the temperament of Spinazzola will be able to provide its contribution.
