Napoli confirmed the signings of Mathias Olivera from Getafe (€12 million) and Zambo Anguissa from Fulham (€15 million purchase option on his loan move) in two official statements. Aurelio de Laurentiis gave an early preview of both deals on his social media.

Napoli will play in the Champions League next season and are bolstering their squad to be up to the task. Their first two official operations have already been confirmed. They are the signings of Mathias Olivera from Getafe and Zambo Anguissa, who arrives from Fulham after a loan spell with the Italians.

The first arrives to the team for 12 million euros, as indicated by the 'COPE' radio station. The second, whose option to buy amounted to 15 million, changes colours for this amount. The total investment is 27 million euros, a first outlay that could be just the starting signal for the summer transfer window for the Italians.

Curiously, Aurelio de Laurentiis, the club's president, announced the two signings ahead of time on his social networks. Furthermore, the press releases to announce them remarked how "the president is pleased to announce" the two. The president is one of the toughest at the negotiating table and likes to underline his successes.

Mathias Olivera was the more eagerly awaited signing of the two, as there has been much talk for months about this possible landing, which has finally become a reality. His good work in the Spanish League now takes him to the most ambitious stages of world football: the Champions League.
