Italian striker Laspadori has transferred from Naples to Atletico Madrid

Italian striker Laspadori has transferred from Naples to Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 22 million euros plus a floating clause that may exceed 3 million euros. He will sign with the club until 2030.

The Italian international officially wore a red and white jersey, becoming the seventh new player introduced by Atletico Madrid to prepare for the 2025-26 season. Together with Alex Baenna, Thiago Almada, David Hanzko, Mark Pubir, Johnny Cardoso and Matteo Rugri, he formed a new round of lineup innovation in the Bedding Legion. The addition of these young players is intended to inject fresh blood into Simeone's team.

Laspadori, 25 years old, will sign a contract with Atletico Madrid to 2030, with an annual salary of 4.5 million euros before tax. Atletico Madrid paid Naples a basic transfer fee of 22 million euros for this purpose, and additional terms of up to 4 million euros.

As a distinctive striker, Raspadori is not a high-profit shooter in the traditional sense, but he is known for his outstanding running ability and excellent tandem organization. Of his 29 appearances in Napoli last season, 15 of his 29 appearances were from substitutes, contributing 6 goals and 2 assists. Although there are not many goals, these goals are often crucial, helping the team win the second Serie A championship in team history (Serie A championship). His joining not only fills the vacancy left by Correa after leaving the team to transfer to the Mexican Tigers, but also provides a new option for Atletico Madrid's offensive line. The club hopes to build a more technical and creative offensive system around Alvarez, and the addition of Baenna, Almada and Laspadori will further enhance the team's ball-handling and cooperation ability near the opponent's penalty area.

Laspadori is the second Italian player to be signed by Atletico Madrid after Rugri this summer. He left Naples' training camp last Friday to Madrid to complete his final transfer procedures, physical examinations and ensure that he is at the best of his time to welcome the start of the new league season. According to the Ass report on Tuesday, Atletico Madrid quickly locked Raspadori as the top goal at the end of the transfer window due to the inability to complete the introduction of Milot.

At present, Simeone's lineup has completed seven-in-eight adjustments: the players leaving the team include DePaul, Correa, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Renierdo, Lemar, Lino and Riquelme. This series of signings reflects the club's strategic intention of replacing the team's average age and injecting more vitality and fighting intensity through renewal.

Laspadori won the Serie A championship twice with Naples and won the 2020 European Cup as a member of the Italian national team. He may not be the focus of the spotlight, but he has repeatedly stood up at critical moments. I believe that this low-key and efficient player will bring countless joys and surprises to Atletico Madrid fans in the future.
