The footballer could move to Serie A after having good seasons in Spanish soccer

Miguel Gutiérrez, a player raised in La Fábrica, is getting closer to making the leap to Serie A. The left-back from Girona CF has reportedly reached an agreement with Napoli to sign a long-term contract for five seasons. The agreement between the player and the club is finalized, so it seems to be only a matter of time before the transfer becomes official.

The footballer was developed in Real Madrid's youth academy, but he has found in Girona CF the space to become one of the most promising wing-backs. His performance over the past seasons has attracted the interest of several European teams, but it has been the current Serie A champion that has made the strongest bid for him. Antonio Conte requested his services, and he is very close to securing them.

Miguel Gutiérrez will head to Italy to play for Napoli

According to the latest reports, Girona CF aren't closed to negotiating, but they won't give away a footballer with so much room for growth. The Catalan club is expected to seek fair compensation for a player who has been key in its offensive and defensive system. Meanwhile, the Italian club sees the addition of a young left-back with top-level experience as an investment for the future.

The player's camp is enthusiastic about the possibility of trying their luck in a league as competitive as Serie A. Miguel Gutiérrez believes he is ready to take on a new challenge and trusts the clubs will soon reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Napoli continues to make moves to strengthen a squad that aims to keep competing for national and international titles.

Miguel Gutiérrez was once linked with Real Madrid

After his strong seasons at Girona CF, Miguel Gutiérrez was once linked with a return to Real Madrid. However, the signing of Álvaro Carreras and the continued presence of Fran García have made the footballer's return impossible.
