Napoli Extend Antonio Vergara’s Contract to 2031

The club said the new deal secures the academy graduate for the long term and signals a plan to keep young talent within the first team.

Overview

  • SSC Napoli issued an official statement confirming Vergara’s contract is extended until 30 June 2031 with a club option to prolong the deal.
  • Journalistic reports say the agreement may include three one-year options that would allow renewals up to 2034 but that detail has not been confirmed by the club.
  • Vergara is a Napoli academy graduate who broke into the first team in 2025 and scored notable goals for the club, including one at the Maradona against Chelsea and a Serie A winner versus Fiorentina.
  • He finished his breakthrough season having appeared 19 times across competitions and was part of the squad that won the Supercoppa Italiana.
  • The extension illustrates Napoli’s use of staged option clauses to lock down homegrown players and could limit transfer interest while giving the club time to develop Vergara into a regular starter.
