However, De Sanctis failed to settle in Spain and after a loan spell at Turkish giants Galatasaray in the 2008-09 campaign, joined Napoli in 2009. Since then he has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the country and has gone on to make over 150 appearances for the Naples outfit.
De Sanctis made his international debut for Italy in 2005 and has since then made just six appearances for his country, having failed to impress the Italian coaches since then over time.
