Napoli hope Cajuste can bring in fresh cash as clubs show interest | OneFootball

Napoli are fielding strong interest in Jens Cajuste from Besiktas, Sevilla, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Burnley.

The Sweden international turns 26 next month and spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town, where he scored one goal in 33 games.

Ipswich had an option to buy for €12m, becoming an obligation under certain conditions, but it was not activated.

He is not part of Antonio Conte’s plans, so the Partenopei are eager to monetise on the midfielder, who was purchased from Stades Reims in 2023 at a cost of €11.5m.

Cajuste made only 35 competitive appearances in the Napoli jersey, contributing two goals.

According to transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano, Besiktas have made a proposal to take him on loan for €1m with an option to buy for a further €6.5m.

However, Ekrem Konur insists the race is hotting up with multiple clubs showing an interest in a summer swoop, including Sevilla, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Burnley.

Cajuste has 25 senior caps for Sweden and in his career has already played in Sweden, Norway, France, Italy and England at club level.
