Current reports indicate that Leonardo Spinazzola is highly likely to depart Napoli upon the expiration of his contract at the close of the season. This could see him become a free agent, attracting interest from both Juventus and Milan.
Spinazzola, an Italian international, is in the final months of his deal with Napoli, which officially concludes on June 30. The 33-year-old player is nearing the end of a two-year agreement he entered into after joining from Roma on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.
While Napoli has reportedly explored avenues for extending the left-back’s contract, a definitive decision has not yet been reached. Negotiations are currently at a standstill.
A contributing factor to the stalled talks between Spinazzola and Napoli is said to be the uncertainty surrounding the club’s head coach for the upcoming season. This speculation arises from ongoing links between Antonio Conte and a potential return to the Italian national team setup as CT, succeeding Gennaro Gattuso.
Consequently, Spinazzola’s departure from Napoli at the end of the season appears increasingly probable, potentially opening the door for a move to either Milan or Juventus.
Recent reports suggest that Juventus might consider Spinazzola, alongside Lorenzo Bernasconi of Atalanta, should Andrea Cambiaso depart the club during the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Milan could consider moving on from Pervis Estupiñán following a disappointing start to his tenure at San Siro. The experienced Spinazzola could be eyed to provide cover and competition for the young Davide Bartesaghi.

Current reports indicate that Leonardo Spinazzola is increasingly likely to leave Napoli when his contract expires at the end of the season, potentially making him available on a free transfer for either Juventus or Milan.
The Italy international is in the final months of his contract with Napoli, which officially ends on June 30. The 33-year-old is concluding a two-year deal signed after leaving Roma on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.
Napoli has reportedly explored contract extension options for the left-back, but according to updates from Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel, a final decision has not yet been made, and talks are currently stalled.
The standstill in negotiations between Spinazzola and Napoli is partly due to uncertainties about who will be the club’s head coach next season. This is because Antonio Conte remains linked with a potential return to the Italian national team setup to replace Gennaro Gattuso as CT.
The situation means Spinazzola is increasingly likely to leave Napoli at the end of the season, which could pave the way for a move to either Milan or Juventus.
Recent reports claim Juventus could turn to both Spinazzola and Atalanta’s Lorenzo Bernasconi if Andrea Cambiaso leaves the club during the summer transfer window.
Milan, meanwhile, might look to move on Pervis Estupiñán after a disappointing start to his time at San Siro and could consider the experienced Spinazzola to provide cover and competition for the young Davide Bartesaghi.
