Napoli, current Serie A champion and with their spot secured in the next edition of the Champions, could sign Miguel Gutiérrez. The left-back from Girona has become the top priority for the Neapolitan side to strengthen a key area of their squad. This way, the former Madridist could leave Montilivi to head to Italy.

The club has already started to act decisively and is preparing an offer of around €30 million. After having a good season with Girona, Miguel Gutiérrez could be facing the biggest challenge of his career, having established himself as one of the great revelations of LaLiga.

Real Madrid remain alert to Miguel Gutiérrez

Real Madrid continue to keep a close eye on Miguel Gutiérrez's situation, since they keep 50% of his economic rights. If the sale to Napoli is finalized, the white club could receive around €15 million. This would be a rather significant amount for a footballer who barely has a place in Madridist's first team.

Although at the time Real Madrid had the option to buy back the left-back for only €8 million, now they benefit financially from the deal. Besides the Neapolitan interest, other giants like Juventus and AC Milan showed interest, but Napoli are the clear favorites.

Moving to Serie A would be a qualitative leap for Miguel Gutiérrez, who has already shown his maturity and quality in LaLiga. For the player, it represents the opportunity to make the jump to a demanding league with a strong presence in European competitions. In fact, he will play in the Champions League and could return to Bernabéu in the future.

Money to cover several signings

Without a doubt, the money received for Miguel Gutiérrez will be very welcome at Real Madrid. It's worth remembering that the club have already signed Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, while Mastantuono and Álvaro Carreras are about to arrive. That's why balancing the budget with the Spaniard's money is crucial.

Moreover, this confirms the club's strategy of combining investment in young talent and economic control. This is a key balance to keep competitive both in Spain and Europe.
