Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka has commented on his future, stating he is content at the club. Speaking from the Slovakia national team training camp ahead of upcoming friendlies, the 30-year-old addressed his situation.
“I feel good at Napoli, I have a contract, we won the Scudetto, and Conte has stayed,” Lobotka said. “If I were to leave, it would only be for a better place; the market is long.”
Lobotka, who joined Napoli in January 2020 and was a vital part of the team that won the Scudetto, suggested that while he is under contract until June 2027, he wouldn`t entirely rule out a move later in his career if a compelling opportunity arose.
He also provided an update on his physical condition after missing the final two matches of the season due to injury. “Physically, I feel better and can walk, but I haven`t run since I got injured with Napoli. I`ll have an MRI tomorrow for more information,” he explained. “The season was very demanding, and the last games were also mentally tough because I couldn`t be on the field with my teammates.”
Discussing his recovery progress, Lobotka added, “It`s currently difficult for me to assess the status of my recovery. I haven`t run, and I`m not sure about the actual condition of my ankle.” He then light-heartedly noted, “I must say, though, it certainly held up during the celebrations! The atmosphere was incredible, as were the celebrations.”
Lobotka concluded by reflecting on Napoli`s historic achievement: “I`m still trying to process what we achieved. The emotion I felt is indescribable.”
