Stanislav Lobotka has stated that it is very tough with the coach and that he might even leave in the summer. His agent said he does not rule out a move, and later clarified that there is a special bond.

Tuttomercato reported that Stanislav Lobotka's agent said 2026 could be a suitable time for the player to leave Napoli and also stated that a joke about a possible transfer was not serious. The outlet noted that big clubs in Europe pursued Stanislav Lobotka last summer, but none met Napoli's asking price of €40 million, which had a potential discount to approximately €35 million.

On the podcast Iná Liga, Stanislav Lobotka stated that he feels good but is getting older. He said that with Conte it is very tough, every training is like a match, and he will not be able to do this forever. Lobotka also mentioned that his agent said 2026 could be the right moment to leave, and he thinks his agent is right, even if he does not make predictions. Separately, Lobotka’s agent, Branislav Jarusek, told Slovak media on October 21 that it would be easier for the player to leave if he wins the third scudetto at Napoli at the end of this season.

Tuttomercato reports on the potential interest in Lobotka from several big European clubs and Saudi clubs due to a release clause in his contract. There is a release clause of 25 million euros in Lobotka's contract, valid from the summer of 2025. Several big European clubs and various Saudi clubs are interested in the player. Napoli is considering monetizing on Lobotka as he will turn 31 in November, which might be one of the last opportunities to do so.
