André-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s desire not to play in the Championship with Fulham saw him look for a move away from Craven Cottage last summer.

After renewing his contract in August 2021, the Cottagers allowed the 26-year-old to join Napoli on a loan deal with the right of redemption.

The midfielder has impressed for the Serie A side in his debut season in Italy. The Fulham owned player has made 24 appearances in all competitions and his displays convinced the Naples club to make his stay permanent.

On April 14th, Corriere dello Sport explained the ‘operation is already planned’ to buy the Cameroon international in the summer for €15m and Luciano Spalletti’s side will pay the fee ‘in their own time’.

Claims made by the newspaper on the Italian club’s desire to buy Anguissa from Fulham are backed up by Napoli sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

“Anguissa? He had a great season, and our will is to redeem him, but the last decision is at the end of the season, but we want to redeem him,” Giuntoli told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli’s program, Radio Goal.

“We have ideas, and we already make some considerations, then we play a game too important to go on individuals and think about the collective. At the end of the season, we’ll talk to everyone and see what happens.”

Giuntoli is only confirming what has been widely reported in the Italy about Napoli’s plan to pay Fulham to buy Anguissa.
