The 22-year-old, who came through Real Madrid’s academy before making his name at Girona, has been on Napoli’s radar for months. Manager Antonio Conte reportedly marked him as the “perfect summer signing” to strengthen the Italian champions’ defense.

Omo, this transfer gist don drag o! Negotiations between the clubs and player’s camp started weeks ago, and at one point, it was even claimed that a deal had been agreed. But then—omo this one almost scatter—talks suddenly hit a stumbling block, throwing the move into doubt.

Well, as of Sunday, fresh reports suggest the deal is back on track and basically complete. According to Mundo Deportivo, “Miguel Gutiérrez’s transfer to Napoli is now a reality. After several days of uncertainty and a process that had been put on hold, the deal has been unblocked, and the Madrid full-back is only awaiting final authorization to travel to Italy this Monday.”

Napoli fans will no doubt be buzzing at the news. Gutiérrez is known for his pace, attacking contributions, and composure on the ball — qualities that fit perfectly into Conte’s tactical setup.

Barcelona and other top European clubs had reportedly been monitoring him too, but Napoli have moved fastest to secure his signature.

Omo this one go pepper Serie A rivals o! With Gutiérrez joining, Napoli’s defense looks even stronger as they prepare to defend their title under Conte’s leadership.

Now, all eyes are on Monday, when the Spanish left-back is expected to officially land in Italy to finalize his transfer.

According to trusted market insider Matteo Moretto, Italian giants Napoli, now under the guidance of Antonio Conte, are allegedly on the verge of completing the signing of Miguel Gutiérrez from Girona.

“Napoli is coming back strongly for Miguel Gutiérrez, the left-back from Girona. In the last few hours, there have been new contacts between the parties, and the agreement with Girona is almost complete. The player has been offered a five-year contract,” Moretto claimed.

So, What’s Madrid Got to Do with It?

Let’s throw it back to 2022, when Real Madrid sold Gutiérrez to Girona. Many fans didn’t blink much then — but the club quietly inserted a 50% sell-on clause into the deal. Very strategic move, no cap.

This means that if Girona cash out big on this deal, half of that bag is heading straight to the Bernabéu.

The Napoli Factor

Reports suggest Conte wants to make Gutiérrez part of his long-term rebuild at Napoli. The left-back, known for his pace and attacking flair, impressed heavily in La Liga last season. Napoli have reportedly offered him a five-year deal, and negotiations with Girona are described as almost done.

If the deal closes — and it’s looking likely — Madrid will benefit directly without lifting a finger.

Why It Matters

With the summer transfer window still active, and Real Madrid already making big moves on other fronts, this unexpected income could be reinvested quickly, whether in another signing or helping to balance the books. And in the current FFP climate, every extra euro counts.

As of now, the transfer hasn’t been officially confirmed — so Madridistas, hold your breath just a little longer.

But omo, if this goes through, Florentino Pérez and co. are smiling to the bank, thanks to a smart clause from two years ago. Silent win
