Attributed to original sourceLeonardo Spinazzola has officially extended his contract with Napoli to June 2028, as he had been on the verge of becoming a free agent.
It had seemed a few months ago as if he would be walking away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the end of the season, as his playing time was limited this term, partly by fitness issues.
However, he has now put pen to paper on a new two-year deal that holds him to the Partenopei until June 2028.

(Photo by Francesco Pecoraro/Getty Images) Spinazzola is 33 years old and was a key part of the Italy squad that won EURO 2020, even though his tournament was cut short by a devastating Achilles tendon tear.
The versatile full-back can play on the right or left, in defence, wide midfield or even as part of a trident attack.
He amassed 72 competitive appearances in the Napoli shirt, scoring four goals and contributing to their Scudetto and Supercoppa Italiana victories.
Roma paid €29.5m to buy Spinazzola from Juventus in 2019, then he joined Napoli as a free agent in the summer of 2024.

What happened
Napoli have confirmed the contract extension of left-back Leonardo Spinazzola, who has committed his future to the club until 2028. The Italian defender, who joined Napoli from Roma, has become a key part of the squad and the new deal rewards his performances. The extension signals Napoli's intention to maintain defensive stability and squad continuity heading into future seasons.
Chance analysis
Securing Spinazzola on a long-term deal stabilizes Napoli's left-back position, which has been a key area of their defensive structure. At 32+, this is likely a shorter-term but important commitment that rewards loyalty and consistent performances. For prediction systems, this confirms his availability for Napoli's Serie A and European campaigns in the medium term and removes any contract-driven uncertainty around his selection.
Positive for Napoli's defensive depth and squad planning; Spinazzola's availability at left-back is secured for the foreseeable future.
Spinazzola is confirmed as a Napoli player through 2028, so factor him in as an available starter for Napoli's upcoming matches with no contract uncertainty.
