The new contract includes a club option to extend for an additional season, ending on the 30th of June, 2027.
According to CalcioNapoli24, Napoli paid €13 to €14 million to redeem the Argentinian, most of which would have been covered by Monza’s obligation to purchase Andrea Petagna for €10 million plus bonuses. Simeone is expected to earn a salary of €2.5 million net per season.
