Anguissa Changing His Mind About Departing Napoli | OneFootball

Frank Anguissa was rumored to leave Napoli in the months leading up to the transfer market, but it didn’t happen in the first summer window. It might not be the case after all. Al-Qadsiah tracked him, but the deal wasn’t close to being finalized in early June, Corriere dello Sport informs.

The midfielder is cautiously pondering what to do and could stay. The same thing occurred last year. He initially wanted to move to Monaco, but Antonio Conte convinced him. The Partenopei activated a two-year option to renew his contract in recent weeks to have leverage to negotiate his sale. The parties could agree to a new deal eventually. He didn’t get a pay bump given how his extension came to be, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the offers from Saudi Arabia for Anguissa haven’t met the request by Napoli. The player’s permanence is more likely now. The turn of events has slowed down the negotiation with Milan for Yunus Musah.

Per DAZN (via MSN), the Azzurri ask for €30M to part ways with their cornerstone. Fenerbahçe have inquired about him as well.

Our Take on Napoli and Anguissa

Perhaps he thought he’d have more or different suitors, but it didn’t make a lot of sense for him to be want out to begin with, given the level the Partenopei have reached. He’s not in the twilight of his career yet. It was more understandable last year after a messy campaign. The buzz tracks with their moves and with the targets they are after.  None would be a proper substitute, trait-wise. Plus, Musah is a deputy at best.
