Napoli Signs Alisson Permanently

Napoli has completed all procedures for the final signing of Brazilian winger Alisson Santos, after activating today the purchase option agreed upon with Sporting Lisbon, making the player a permanent part of the Italian club's project for the coming seasons.

According to reports from Portugal and Italy, Napoli officially informed Sporting's management of its decision to activate the purchase option, which is valued at 16.5 million euros, after months of complete satisfaction with the levels the player has shown since joining the team.

Alisson joined Napoli during the last winter transfer window on loan for 3.5 million euros, with a non-mandatory purchase option. However, the player's outstanding performance prompted the club's management to make an early decision and turn the deal into a permanent transfer.

Several sources confirmed that the decision was already settled weeks ago, but the club waited to conclude some administrative and technical files before sending the official notification to Sporting. With today's official confirmation, the deal is 100% complete without any doubts or possibilities of retraction.

Alisson Santos is viewed within Napoli as one of the most important elements of the team's future project, especially after the strong impression he left since his arrival, as he quickly established himself among the main options and caught attention with his offensive abilities and great speed on the flanks.

Thus, Napoli closes one of its major summer market files early, securing Alisson Santos' stay with a long-term contract, in a step that confirms the club's full confidence in the Brazilian star to be one of the team's pillars in the coming years.
