the ‘Chucky‘It was the most expensive purchase in the history of the’ Naples at the time of his arrival. More than $ 40 million was disbursed for their services and although he arrived as a pampered Carlo Ancelotti, the strategist’s departure echoed the Mexican’s game and mood.
Then the pandemic did not help, because before the few minutes, the differences with Gattuso they were constant, but this hunger channeled it in their favor and they pushed forward to shine in one of the most important leagues in the world.
In the 2019-20 campaign, Lozano was retired from training, Was not his teammates’ favorite and loaded with the emblem signing tag, so people put a lot of weight on their backs. Now, all this was in the past and established himself as one of the best players in the Neapolitan team.
