According to Mundo Deportivo, Napoli is interested in acquiring Remiro through an exchange deal involving Meret. Napoli's offer for Remiro includes Meret as part of an exchange. The deal is complicated as Meret is uncertain about the operation and is the least convinced party about joining Real Sociedad at the moment. Napoli and Real Sociedad have not started formal negotiations but have exchanged messages between top club officials. Meret and his entourage communicated to Real Sociedad their wish to leave after a specific match, and his entourage brought Napoli's offer to Real Sociedad.

A potential departure of Álex Remiro from Real Sociedad to Napoli could facilitate an exchange involving Alex Meret. The 29-year-old Italian goalkeeper has one year remaining on his contract with Napoli. La Reppublica has reported on interest from Juventus, and other media have mentioned interest from Fenerbahce.
