As the season concludes, one of Napoli most reliable performers over the past three years could be on the verge of a departure.
The midfielder has been a standout figure in an otherwise inconsistent campaign, impressing under multiple coaches.
However, with his 31st birthday looming later this year, the club may see this as the last opportunity to secure a significant transfer fee for his services.
Several elite European sides have registered their interest, with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United all reportedly monitoring the situation.
Napoli, meanwhile, could opt for a younger alternative in midfield, particularly given the player’s substantial salary.
While his valuation is around €40 million, the club may be willing to negotiate, opening the door for a potential summer exit, according to tuttomercatoweb.
Stanislav Lobotka recently expressed his feelings about his relationship with Napoli during an interview with Radio CRC, where he talked about his commitment to the side.
“I feel the responsibility, because I’ve been here now for over five years. I work every day to help the team, and on the field, I try to be a leader. When we have the ball, I try to lead us to victory.”
This illustrates Lobotka’s relationship with the club and the city; he has cemented himself as a pivotal figure at the club, and he has become a favourite among fans.
Lobotka professed the strength of the group’s shared sense of unity and why that is so important within the club context.
“We are a really good group, and that is very important for me. The team has a mutual understanding, even in difficult situations, we know we can rely on each other.”
Even with all the love he has for Napoli, it is possible that with the growing interest in him from top clubs and the club’s potential desire for a new start, this summer may represent the end of Stanislav Lobotka’s time in Naples.
