Napoli retain Antonio Vergara despite Tottenham Como interest

Napoli have confirmed their intention to keep winger Antonio Vergara at the club despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Italian side Como. Vergara’s contract runs until 2030, and the player has expressed a desire to remain under manager Max Allegri.

A report indicates that both Como and Tottenham are monitoring the Italian winger. Napoli initially questioned whether they could retain Vergara, but have now decided to keep him beyond the upcoming summer window.

The club’s confidence stems from Vergara’s contract, which is set to expire in 2030, giving Napoli a long‑term hold on the player. Management believes he can reach the next level with the team.

Vergara himself is keen to stay, stating he can make an impact under Max Allegri and leave his recent injury woes behind. He feels the environment at Napoli offers the best platform for his development.

Having had limited time to establish himself, Vergara needs more consistency to prove his quality. Napoli view a premature move as a risk to his career, preferring he consolidates his role at the club. Staying at Napoli is considered the best choice for his immediate progress.
