Napoli have officially purchased Italy Under-21 international goalkeeper Elia Caprile from Bari and loaned him to Empoli.
The deal had been in the works for several weeks and it all went exactly as expected this evening.
It was a simple operation, because Napoli and Bari are both owned by the De Laurentiis family and therefore regularly exchange players between them.
Caprile has also played for Chievo, Leeds United and Pro Patria before his move to Bari last summer, where he helped them reach the Serie B promotion play-off final.
He has been purchased by Napoli and immediately sent out on loan for one season to Empoli.
