Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa could leave Napoli in January as talks stall

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s future at Napoli has become uncertain, with the midfielder’s contract due to expire at the end of the season and negotiations over an extension at a standstill, according to Nicolo Schira.

The lack of progress has increased the possibility of a move during the January transfer window, with Besiktas renewing their interest in the Cameroon international. The Turkish club made an approach for the 30-year-old during the summer and now regard him as their primary midfield target, according to Tuttomercatoweb.

Besiktas manager Vincenzo Italiano is looking to strengthen his team for the second half of the campaign with an experienced player capable of providing physical presence, retaining possession under pressure and helping to move the ball forward after regaining it.

The Istanbul club is expected to explore a January deal by attempting to take advantage of the impasse between Anguissa and Napoli. However, Napoli’s response will be central to whether a mid-season departure can happen, particularly given the importance of deciding whether to allow the midfielder to leave before the end of the campaign.

Besiktas will also face competition for Anguissa’s signature. Several Serie A clubs, teams from other major European leagues and clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring developments surrounding the player.

Anguissa is valued at 15 million euros and earns an annual salary of 3,460,000 euros, equivalent to 2,249,000,000 FCFA, in Italy.

Napoli’s next fixture will be against Torino in the 12th round of the Italian championship.
