An exchange of international goalkeepers could be facilitated by a potential departure of Álex Remiro from Real Sociedad to Napoli. This operation would involve Alex Meret, Napoli's 29-year-old Italian goalkeeper, arriving at Zubieta. Meret is in a similar contractual and career situation to Remiro, as he also has one year remaining on his contract. The concept of this swap is reportedly under consideration at Real and is viewed favorably by the club. It is said that good relations exist between Napoli and Real from previous transfer dealings.
Meret is also attracting attention from other places; La Reppublica has reported on interest from Juventus, and other media have mentioned interest from Fenerbahce. The three-time capped Italy international joined Napoli in July 2019 and made 11 appearances in Serie A last season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €8.00m.
