The transfer cost is reportedly €7.5m, with Favasuli arriving at the Stadio Maradona from Catanzaro. The 22-year-old full-back is a product of the Fiorentina academy, having left the Viola to join Catanzaro on a permanent transfer last summer. Favasuli has spent the last three seasons in Serie B, but has recently earned his first Italy national team caps as part of the young squad that took on Luxembourg and Greece under the interim reign of Silvio Baldini.
According to Football Italia, Favasuli's arrival at Napoli is part of a larger effort to bolster the club's back line, with Chelsea centre-back Benoit Badiashile also in Italy ahead of his transfer to the Stadio Maradona. Favasuli's signing is a significant coup for Napoli, who are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the remainder of the season.
