Matteo Politano is one of the most promising young talents in Italian football, and his performances for Napoli have made him a key player in their attack.

Born in Rome in 1998, Politano began his career at Roma's youth academy before joining Napoli in 2017. He has since established himself as a key player for the club, scoring 16 goals in just over two seasons with the senior team.

Politano's breakthrough came during the 2019-20 season when he scored 15 goals in all competitions, including four goals in the final three matches to help Napoli win the Serie A title. His performances caught the attention of Serie A clubs, and he was heavily linked with moves to Inter Milan and Juventus.

However, Napoli refused to let him leave, and he continued to impress under new manager Luciano Spalletti. In the 2020-21 season, Politano scored 14 goals in 34 appearances, helping Napoli to finish second behind Inter Milan in the league table.

His performances have also earned him praise from Serie A players and coaches alike. "He's a real talent," said Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez. "He's got great technique and can score goals from everywhere."

Politano's success has not gone unnoticed by other Serie A teams. Inter Milan and Juventus have both been linked with a move for him this summer, but Napoli are reportedly willing to sell him if they receive the right offer.

With his impressive form and potential, it seems likely that Matteo Politano will continue to be a key player for Napoli in the coming years. His breakout season could be just the beginning of a long and successful career in Italian football.
