Mathias Olivera ‘fascinated by Napoli,’ says Getafe President

Getafe President Angel Torres admitsMathías Olivera is ‘fascinated’ by a potential move to Napoli, but urges the Partenopei to pay the defender’s release clause.

The 24-year-old is among Napoli’s main targets for 2022-23 and is believed to have already agreed personal terms with the Serie A side. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported in April that the defender’s move to the Stadio Maradona was virtually a done deal.

Getafe President Angel Torres confirms Mathías Olivera’s move to Naples is on the cards but denies Napoli have reached an agreement with his club.

“Olivera is fascinated by Napoli and the Champions League,” he told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“We’ll talk about it at the end of the season. For now, we are focused on the race for survival. If Napoli pay his clause, they can close the deal straight away.”

The defender’s clause is believed to be €20m. His contract with Getafe runs out in June 2025.
