Overview

• Napoli and Girona are in advanced talks over an €18–20 million transfer fee for left-back Miguel Gutierrez.
• Personal terms for the 24-year-old include a proposed five-year contract at €2 million per season, with final details still to be agreed.
• Gutierrez remains sidelined after July 10 ankle surgery and is not expected to return to full training until late August or early September.
• Antonio Conte’s shift to a full-back-oriented 4-3-3 has prompted Naples to freeze interest in wide attackers like Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish.
• The club is also negotiating for Sevilla’s right-back Juanlu Sanchez in a deal around €17 million plus future resale clauses.
