Naples, Caprile away in January? The agent: “It’s a shame to be on the bench all year, let’s see”

Elia Caprile he found space at Napoli only in the period in which Alex Meret he was injured, then returned to the bench because Antonio Conte’s hierarchies are clear: he is the second goalkeeper. His agent spoke about the moment of the former Empoli goalkeeper, Graziano Battistinispoke at Radio Capri: “He is proud to be able to live this experience in an important club and with an important coach. Measuring yourself at certain levels is always useful to understand where you are at and this experience has made you grow further. It’s clear that his ambition is to always play and he wants to be a protagonist, like everyone else. However, he knows that he has an important goalkeeper like Alex Meret alongside him. The coach makes his choices but Elia doesn’t want to give up anything.”

Will anything happen in the winter transfer market?
“We’ll see. It would certainly be a shame if he spent the whole year on the bench. Therefore, if something interesting happens in the market, we will evaluate it. But until then it is obvious that Elia’s focus is on Napoli and he tries to fight every day to carve out a space for himself. When they called him into action he proved he could handle the pressure, after which maximum respect for the coach’s choices.”

The latest on the future
Napoli and Cagliari are working on an exchange of goalkeepers. As ‘Sky Sport’ reports, the two companies are evaluating the possibility of bringing Simone Scuffet to the slopes of Vesuvius to have him fill the role of deputy Meret and Elia Caprile in Sardinia to allow him to find more space. Born in 2001, the latter has already worked with Davide Nicola during the last season in Empoli.
