Juan Camilo Zúñiga Mosquera (born 14 December 1986) is a Colombian football defender who currently plays for Serie A club Napoli and Colombian national team.

Career

Zúñiga left Atlético Nacional in the summer of 2008 and was contracted by Siena. On 9 July 2009 Napoli signed the Colombian from Siena on a five-year deal. Zúñiga then usually featured in the midfield in the 352 formation, as left wingback, which Christian Maggio often played as right wingback, with 3 central backs occupied the defender role.

After the arrival of Andrea Dossena in January 2010, he lost his starting place and became a backup wingback on the both flank in 2010–11 Serie A season.

International career

Zúñiga played for Colombia in the 2005 World Youth Cup before progressing to the senior national team in 2005. He was regarded as being similar to other famous adventurous full-backs such as Cafu and Roberto Carlos by the Italian press during the under-20 World Youth Cup, because of his attacking nature.

well, if we get him on loan for 6 months for example, I think it wont be such a bad idea, he is no worse than Motta. If there is no chance for Marotta to bring a better player for our right back in january and Zuniga is our only option, we should take it.

How many steps back are we going to go before we make a step forward in terms of quality?
