Grassi set to join SPAL

By Football Italia staff

Napoli midfielder Alberto Grassi will play for SPAL next season, his agent has confirmed.

Reports suggest SPAL have agreed a season-long loan for Grassi, with an option to buy the 22-year-old next summer.

“He’s going to SPAL. It’s all done, we’re just waiting for President De Laurentiis to give the ‘OK’,” Mario Giuffredi told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“We believe they can be the team that allow him to play at great levels again.”

Grassi returned to Atalanta last season but featured in less than nine starts’ worth of games for the Dea.

Nonetheless, he made two appearances for Italy at the recent European Under-21 Championship.
