“David Ospina will be a great loss for Napoli”

4 years, 103 games played, 39 clean sheets and a title is the balance with which David Ospina leaves Napoli. The Colombian goalkeeper decided not to renew with the Italian team and is currently free, however, his new club will be announced in the coming days. The goalkeeper will be a very important drop in the team’s squad since, in addition to being the undisputed starter, he had become one of the key pieces of the team led by Luciano Spalletti.

Fernando Orsi, a former Italian goalkeeper who wore the shirts of Napoli, Parma and Lazio, among others and who has also worked in the coaching staff of Lazio, Inter and Livorno, analyzed, in an interview with 1 Station Radio, the departure of the 33-year-old goalkeeper from Antioquia years and He stated that it will be a heavy drop, but he trusts Alex Meretwhom he considers one of the best in his position in Italy.

“David Ospina was a guarantee, he offered Napoli a lot. It will be a great loss for the Azzurri, but they made a different decision and chose to bet on Alex. It’s a shared choice, but Alex has always been a good goalkeeper. He must be reliable, rather than a footballer who knows how to play well with his feet. He is Donnarumma’s second in the selection and he is a level player, ”said the former goalkeeper.

“Napoli have the first or second best goalkeeper in Serie A. I like Alex Meret because of his coordination, he is good technically and knows how to block the ball well. It should only acquire more prominence, therefore the ability to direct the defense, but the more he plays the more he will learn, he must also have the serenity to be able to make mistakes”, added the Italian.

After 4 years at Napoli, David Ospina decided not to renew in search of a better option for the future of his professional career. It is expected that in the next few days his transfer to Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia will be closed, with whom negotiations would already be advanced.
