Lobotka's future at Napoli in doubt over his high wages
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the club sees his pay as unsustainable and could let him leave on a free at season's end, despite a renewal option.
Stanislav Lobotka could be heading out of Napoli. TuttoMercatoWeb reports that the Slovak midfielder is still recovering from a muscle injury that has kept him out for six weeks, with a possible return around mid-December. Meanwhile, Napoli are relying on Gilmour to shield the defence.
The issue is money. Lobotka earned 2.5 million euros when he arrived and in 2024 agreed a variable salary that can rise up to 4.5 million. For the De Laurentiis side that figure is becoming too high, and he could leave on a free transfer when the season ends, in line with what may happen to Anguissa.
An option to extend unilaterally for another season exists, but the outlet considers it unlikely: it would mean keeping those wages without the Champions League, making him a burden rather than an asset.
