The transfer market continues to see significant movements, and one of the most anticipated ones in Italy is about to materialize. After weeks of intense discussions, Miguel Gutiérrez will be announced tomorrow, Monday, as the new reinforcement for Napoli, the reigning Serie A champion.
The 24-year-old Madrid-born full-back will undergo a medical examination at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome early in the morning and then travel to the club's facilities to sign a long-term contract.
As reported by the newspaper AS, the agreement reached between Girona and the southern Italian club was around €18 million fixed, plus an additional €2 million based on performance-related incentives. However, the deal also involves Real Madrid since the Whites retained 50% of the player's rights since his time at Montilivi. This ensures an immediate income for the Florentino Pérez-led club through the transfer of a youth academy product who never quite established himself in the first team.
Girona has accepted €18 million for Miguel Gutiérrez
The commitment binding Gutiérrez to Napoli will extend until 2030, with an annual salary of €2.3 million that could reach €2.7 million depending on various bonuses. For Antonio Conte, the current team manager, this is a strategic addition as he values the defender's versatility, capable of performing in a back four or as an attacking wing-back in a more offensive setup.
However, the Neapolitan fans will have to wait to see their new signing in action. The former Girona player underwent ankle surgery in early July and is currently in recovery. Medical services estimate he may be available after the September international break, potentially marking his official debut on the 13th against Fiorentina in a crucial Serie A match.
Gutiérrez's arrival not only strengthens the Italian champions but also marks a significant step in the career of a player who has shown consistent growth since his departure from Valdebebas. At Montilivi, he was a key player, notably contributing to Girona's historic qualification for European competitions. His ability to join the attack, vision on the field, and accuracy in crosses have made him one of the most attractive full-backs in the Spanish league.

In Serie A, the challenge will be greater. Napoli aims to maintain competitiveness in Serie A and make a leap in the Champions League, where squad depth is crucial. Conte knows he needs reliable full-backs to support his style of play and believes Gutiérrez will become a key figure in the medium term.
The official announcement is scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, concluding an operation involving multiple parties that reinforces Napoli's ambition for the new season. With this signing, the Southern club not only gains a versatile player but also a long-term project aiming to establish itself among the best.
