Il Napoli is approaching the first transfer market move in January, aiming for Luis Hasa, an attacking midfielder that Lecce had acquired from Juventus last summer. Despite his transfer, Hasa has not found space in the Salento team. The footballer, born in 2002 and former protagonist of the Under 19 World Cup, is expected in the next few hours for medical visits, after which he will sign a contract with the Neapolitan club, which for his registration would pay around 500 thousand euros.
Article Key Points
An emerging talent
Luis Hasa is considered one of the most promising young talents in Italian football. Born in Sora, in the province of Frosinone, to Albanian parents, he played a key role in the triumph of the Under 19 National Team at the recent World Cup, also contributing with an assist in the final. Thanks to his performances, he earned a call-up to the Under 21 team and the attention of various Serie A clubs. Lecce bought him from Juventus for one million euros, allowing the Bianconeri to keep a percentage of 30% on the future resale, which will now earn them around 125 thousand euros.
Youth career and arrival at Juventus
Hasa grew up in the Juventus youth system, where he had the opportunity to play in various roles, from winger to attacking midfielder. His first-team debut dates back to August 2023, during a friendly against Atalanta, in which he replaced Locatelli, positioning himself as a mezzala. Despite this, he has never made his Serie A debut, having been used mainly with the Under 23s in Serie C, where he made 32 appearances, two goals and six assists last season.
A new opportunity for Napoli
Hasa's debut with Lecce was hampered by various physical problems; in fact, he only made his debut with the Giallorossi in the Coppa Italia, coming on as a substitute for the final ten minutes of the defeat against Sassuolo. Now, with his transfer to Napoli, Hasa will have the opportunity to shine under the guidance of Antonio Conte, who will evaluate him in training before deciding whether to include him in the squad or send him out on loan to gain more experience on the pitch.
