Napoli Withdraws Contract Offer to Zambo Anguissa, Opens Door for Milan Interest

Zambo Anguissa has helped Napoli win two Serie A titles in three seasons, yet the club withdrew a contract offer after his latest international injury.

Napoli currently sits second in the 2025‑26 Serie A table, chasing the league leaders. The midfielder joined from Fulham in 2022 and has become a regular starter under both Luciano Spalletti and the current coach. His ability to drive the ball forward and break up play has been cited as a factor in Napoli’s recent success.

Anguissa’s contract talks began last year after he featured prominently in Napoli’s title‑winning campaigns. According to reports, the club had prepared a new deal that would have extended his stay beyond 2027. The offer was pulled back when he sustained a muscle injury while on Cameroon duty during the March international break.

The reversal left Anguissa dissatisfied, especially after multiple meetings had suggested a renewal was imminent. His camp has signaled that he may seek a transfer if Napoli does not reinstate the offer. Milan, looking to bolster its midfield depth, has been named as a possible destination for the summer window.

If Napoli does not revisit the terms, Anguissa could become available on a free transfer or for a modest fee, depending on the remaining length of his deal. Milan’s interest would likely trigger negotiations over wages and contract length, with the player’s Serie A experience being a key selling point. Other clubs in England have also monitored his situation, though no formal bids have emerged yet.

Watch whether Napoli revises its contract stance or if Milan submits a formal bid before the July 1 transfer window opens.
