Napoli’s Cameroon midfielder Frank Anguissa is being linked with a move to Turkish side Besiktas, with his future in Serie A complicated by an unclear contract situation and a reported market value of €20.00m.
The 30-year-old central midfielder, born in Yaoundé on 16 November 1995, is the subject of transfer speculation suggesting a potential switch from Napoli to the Süper Lig club, according to the latest data compiled on 19 May 2026. The probability of the move remains officially listed as “?”, underlining how early and uncertain the talks are, but Besiktas are understood to be exploring midfield reinforcements.
Anguissa’s current deal at Napoli has not been publicly clarified in the latest records, with no contract expiry date listed. That ambiguity has fuelled suggestions he could become a free agent if no new agreement is reached, a scenario that would contrast sharply with his €20.00m valuation on Transfermarkt and could make him a cost‑effective option for Besiktas compared with a full transfer fee.
A right‑footed central midfielder who wears shirt number 99 for Napoli, Anguissa has built a reputation as a physically strong, box‑to‑box presence at 1.84m tall. He has been a regular in Serie A for the Italian club and remains part of their first‑team structure, having featured in recent league fixtures. In Napoli’s latest outing before the rumour surfaced – a league match earlier this month in which they faced domestic opposition in Serie A – Anguissa completed the full 90 minutes, contributing his usual defensive work and ball progression in a tight contest, although Napoli were unable to find a decisive breakthrough and the game finished level.
With his international pedigree for Cameroon, experience in a top European league and a valuation that reflects his peak years, Anguissa would arrive in Istanbul as a marquee midfield option if a deal can be struck. Whether via a transfer or as a potential free agent should his contract situation open the door, a move to Besiktas would mark a significant new chapter and could reshape both his reputation and his role on the European stage.
