Napoli director Manna open to Anguissa departure if no contract agreement reached
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna addressed the future of key midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, indicating the club is relaxed about the possibility of separation if contract talks don't produce an agreement. Anguissa, who has been a central figure in Napoli's midfield since joining from Fulham, is approaching a contract crossroads. Manna's comments suggest Napoli are prepared to negotiate a sale or allow the player to leave rather than risk losing him for free. The Cameroonian international has been influential in Napoli's recent Serie A title-winning campaign.

It hints that contract talks have stalled, and Napoli are already mentally preparing for life without the Cameroon international — a player who has been a midfield engine for them. For fans, this raises the prospect of a significant squad rebuild in the middle of the park, with Anguissa's combination of physicality, ball progression and defensive cover difficult to replace. The coming weeks will likely determine whether a sale is negotiated now or whether the player runs down his contract.
