In a significant transfer move, Napoli has accepted Atletico Madrid`s latest offer for Giacomo Raspadori. The deal is worth €22 million upfront, with an additional €4 million in easily achievable bonuses, bringing the total potential transfer fee to €26 million.
The transfer breakdown is as follows:
- €22 million fixed fee
- €3 million if Atletico Madrid qualifies for the Champions League
- €1 million in easily attainable performance-related bonuses
Raspadori is now set to travel for a medical examination before signing a five-year contract with the Spanish club. This move marks the end of his tenure with Napoli, where he played a crucial role in securing two Serie A titles.
During his time at Napoli, Raspadori contributed significantly to the team`s success, scoring 18 goals and providing 10 assists in 109 competitive appearances. However, it`s worth noting that many of these appearances were as a substitute rather than in the starting lineup.
Napoli originally acquired Raspadori from Sassuolo in 2023 for €28 million, following an initial one-season loan costing €5 million. Despite the slight decrease in transfer value, the club has decided to proceed with the deal.
This transfer makes Raspadori the second Italian international to join Atletico Madrid this summer, following Matteo Ruggeri`s move from Atalanta. The addition of Raspadori is expected to bolster Atletico Madrid`s attacking options for the upcoming season.
