Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa has been nothing short of spectacular for Napoli since arriving from Fulham, playing a pivotal role in two Scudetto triumphs under different managers. However, behind the scenes, there are growing signs that the Cameroonian midfielder could be ready to request a summer transfer.
Currently, the 28-year-old has endured an injury-hit campaign with the Partenopei, who sit second in Serie A. But it's not just fitness issues that have caused friction. According to reports from La Repubblica (via AreaNapoli), Zambo Anguissa was on the verge of signing a new contract with the Naples club last year. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction—until he picked up an injury during an international break.
That setback changed everything. Napoli abruptly pulled out of renewal talks, leaving the midfielder frustrated and disillusioned. After multiple meetings and a growing sense that a deal was imminent, the club's sudden U-turn has reportedly soured his relationship with the hierarchy. Now, a summer exit looks increasingly likely.
If Zambo Anguissa does decide to move on, there will be no shortage of suitors. AC Milan are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, eager to keep him in Italy. But interest could also come from England, where Sunderland have previously shown interest in the former Fulham man.
It would mark the end of a special chapter. Since joining Napoli, Zambo Anguissa has transformed into one of Serie A's finest midfielders. Under Luciano Spalletti, he thrived in a deeper role, showcasing his remarkable ability to carry the ball forward with purpose. Under Antonio Conte, he was deployed as a receiver in the final third, proving his versatility and tactical intelligence.
While the relationship may not end on the happiest of notes, Napoli fans will remember Zambo Anguissa as a player who gave his all—and helped bring silverware back to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Whether he stays or goes, his legacy as a key figure in two Scudetto-winning campaigns is already secure.
