Atletico Madrid secures the transfer of Italy national team player Giacomo Raspadori from Napoli.
Atletico Madrid has made a significant move in the transfer market, signing Italian forward Giacomo Raspadori from Napoli. The versatile attacker, who can play in all attacking positions and behind the strikers, has yet to make his debut for his new club, having joined in 2025.
Raspadori's club career began at Sassuolo, where he made 82 Serie A appearances, scoring 18 goals between 2018 and 2023. He then moved to Napoli on loan in 2022, before making the move permanent in 2023. Over the course of two seasons, Raspadori played 109 matches for Napoli, scoring 18 goals across all competitions.

As for his international career, Raspadori made his senior debut with Italy at the age of 21 in 2021 and has since earned 40 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing six assists. He was also part of the Italian team that won the European Championship.
