Regarded as one of the most talented young left-backs in Italy, Favasuli has impressed in his time at Catanzaro, scoring two goals and providing seven assists in 36 appearances last season. He helped the club reach the Serie B Play-off final and has also made a name for himself on the international stage, making his senior Italy debut under caretaker coach Silvio Baldini. Favasuli, 22, has also played both friendlies against Greece and Luxembourg.
Favasuli's versatility on the pitch is another asset that has caught the attention of Napoli. While he has mostly been used as a right-back, he can also play on the left flank. Napoli will pay €1m for Favasuli's one-season loan, with an obligation to buy set at circa €6m. This move could be a shrewd signing for the Partenopei, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The medical tests are the next step in Favasuli's move to Napoli, and a successful outcome could see him join the club on loan.
