Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa attracts Inter, Juventus interest as Napoli wage talks hit snag

Inter and Juventus are keeping tabs on Napoli midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa as uncertainty grows over his future at the Serie A champions.

The Cameroon international has emerged as a potential target for the two Italian giants after negotiations over a new contract reportedly reached an impasse.

According to Tuttosport, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has struggled to make significant progress with Anguissa’s representatives as both sides attempt to find an agreement that would extend the midfielder’s stay at the club.

Anguissa is understood to be seeking a salary of around €6 million per season, which would represent a substantial increase on his current €3.8m annual earnings.

Napoli, however, are reluctant to meet those financial demands and are weighing several factors before committing to an improved contract.

Napoli weighing financial and fitness concerns

The midfielder’s recent injury problems are reportedly among the issues being considered by the club as they assess whether his proposed salary fits within their financial structure.

Napoli also remain conscious of their existing wage hierarchy, making it difficult for the club to immediately accept a demand that would significantly increase Anguissa’s earnings.

The lack of progress has consequently created uncertainty around a player who has become an important part of Napoli’s midfield.

The 30-year-old has established himself as a key figure since joining the club, combining his physical presence with his ability to contribute in possession and provide defensive cover.

His performances have made him an influential member of the Napoli squad, but the stalled negotiations have now attracted attention from elsewhere in Serie A.

Inter and Juventus waiting

Inter and Juventus are understood to be monitoring the situation closely as they assess whether Anguissa could become available.

Both clubs are aware that a failure to reach an agreement with Napoli could eventually create an opportunity to bring the experienced midfielder to their respective squads.

The possibility of Anguissa remaining in Italy could therefore add another dimension to the ongoing negotiations, particularly if Napoli’s position on his salary does not change.

AC Milan are also reportedly following developments surrounding the Cameroon international, meaning Napoli could face competition for his services should the contract impasse continue.

For now, Anguissa remains a Napoli player, with the club yet to reach an agreement with his representatives over fresh terms.

Contract decision could shape Anguissa’s next move

The coming discussions could prove significant for both parties. Napoli must determine whether they are prepared to substantially increase the midfielder’s salary while accounting for his injury history and the club’s wider wage structure.

Anguissa, meanwhile, has to weigh the security of a new agreement in Naples against the possibility of testing himself elsewhere.

With Inter, Juventus and AC Milan monitoring the situation, the midfielder’s contract stand-off has already generated interest across Serie A.

If Napoli and Anguissa fail to bridge the gap, his future could become one of the notable transfer situations to watch as the Italian clubs assess their midfield options.
