Ospina has been waiting for Real Madrid for five months

The situation 

David Ospina, after four seasons at Napoli, will soon have to decide where to continue his career . The Colombian, despite living in constant competition with Meret (for whom De Laurentiis invested 30 million euros), ended up gaining the trust of Ancelotti, Gattuso and Spalletti . The three coaches who passed through the Azzurro bench chose him as their starter thanks to his experience, his ability to start plays with his feet and his reflexes. By percentage of saves this year he was the third best goalkeeper in Serie A (behind Maignan and Handanovic) and led Calcio’s best defense with character (31 goals conceded in 37 games). His contract expires on June 30 and the goalkeeper has not yet heard an offer, because he has been waiting for a call for five months: the one from Real Madrid. The priority of the white board is to keep the services of Lunin, but the Ukrainian can ask for a one-year loan to be a starter and have a leading role. Ospina’s, then, is a profile of guarantees, which Ancelotti knows very well (he wanted him in Naples) and that he would arrive as a free agent .

The details

The coffee grower is aware of this opportunity and, at almost 34 years old, he would be delighted to be the second Real Madrid goalkeeper. His problem, however, is that there is no certainty about Lunin’s departure and the fear of missing the two trains is about to arrive. His family is delighted in Naples , where he would start in a Champions League project , and Luciano Spalletti publicly and privately asked for his continuity . The negotiation to renew his contract has not yet begun. The player asks for a salary of three million net and wants to continue waiting for Madrid , but the Azzurro club needs certainties for next year and will meet with his agents at the end of May. Soon a decision will have to be made.
