Napoli stalls Antonio Vergara contract renewal

Negotiations to extend midfielder Antonio Vergara’s deal with Napoli, originally set to run until 2030, have abruptly stalled. Reports indicate that the club rejected two offers of around €25 million each – one reportedly from Atalanta – signaling a divergence between the player’s demands and Napoli’s valuation.

Vergara, a product of Napoli’s youth academy and a key figure in recent Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia matches, has expressed a desire to remain at the club. However, his current salary is already lower than that of several teammates, prompting a push for a new agreement. Napoli’s management says talks remain open and will continue in the coming weeks, while the player’s agent reaffirms his client’s commitment to the team.
