Napoli has officially announced that their first-choice goalkeeper, Alex Meret, has extended his contract with the club until June 2027. This new agreement adds two more years to the Italy international`s previous deal, which was set to expire at the end of the current month.
The 28-year-old shot-stopper has been a crucial part of Napoli`s recent success, contributing significantly to their Serie A title victories in the 2022-23 and 2024-25 seasons. Meret`s impressive performances have solidified his position as one of the top goalkeepers in European football.
Napoli`s Official Statement on Meret`s Contract Extension
In their official announcement, Napoli highlighted Meret`s achievements since joining the club:
- Debut: December 8, 2018, in a 4-0 victory against Frosinone
- Total appearances: 212
- Clean sheets: 68
- Trophies won: Two Serie A titles (2022-23, 2024-25) and one Coppa Italia (2019-20)
The club also emphasized Meret`s exceptional performance in the 2024-25 season, where he kept the most clean sheets among goalkeepers in Europe`s top five leagues. He matched his personal best of 16 clean sheets in a single Serie A campaign, a feat he first achieved in the 2022-23 season.
This contract extension demonstrates Napoli`s commitment to maintaining a strong defensive foundation and their faith in Meret`s abilities as they look to continue their recent success in both domestic and European competitions.
