Atalanta eyes Anguissa while Sarri and Giuntoli battle Napoli
Napoli are locked in renewal talks with midfielder Frank Zambo Anguissa, whose contract runs until 2027 after the club exercised an option and a new deal has been offered through 2030, while coach Luciano Sarri and sporting director Giovanni Giuntoli prepare to match Atalanta’s financial lure.
Atalanta's emerging interest
Atalanta have entered the race for the Cameroonian midfielder, with Luciano Sarri and Giovanni Giuntoli prepared to match any financial package the club can offer. They have indicated willingness to increase Napoli’s offer to retain the player. Stampa notes that the Bergamo side’s strong economic position makes the pursuit realistic.
The club’s internal note displays the tags A− and A+ alongside the player’s name, underscoring the seriousness of the approach. Initial talks have been opened with Anguissa’s entourage, and the possibility of a move to Bergamo could become concrete in the coming weeks. No concrete offer has been presented by Atalanta yet.
Anguissa is reportedly seeking a salary rise of between 700,000 and 800,000 euros per season. Napoli are attempting to bridge that gap, while Atalanta’s greater financial flexibility could allow them to satisfy the demand more easily. Napoli’s current proposal falls short of the player’s demand, prompting the club to explore additional incentives.

Napoli’s renewal push
Il Napoli have exercised the option to keep Anguissa until 2027 and have already proposed a new contract extending to 2030. The Rinnovo discussion intensified during the Castel di Sangro training camp, where agents Maxime Nana and Giovanni Branchini met club officials. The extension to 2030 reflects Napoli’s long‑term plan for the midfielder.
Aurelio De Laurentiis aims to find an agreement for the contract extension, and Giovanni Manna described Anguissa as “incedibile” during the Dimaro camp. The Calciomercato narrative places the renewal as one of the most intriguing topics surrounding Napoli.
Frank Zambo Anguissa remains keen to continue his adventure in blue, especially after Massimiliano Allegri restored his confidence. Allegri has publicly praised Anguissa’s ability to influence both defensive and attacking phases, and the midfielder’s physical strength, intensity and technical quality have re‑established him as a key figure in the squad.
With the new season looming, Napoli aim to secure the player before the window closes. Losing Anguissa would mean parting with a two‑time Serie A champion and Supercoppa Italiana winner, and Atalanta remains at the window, ready to act – Napoli - must decide quickly. Atalanta’s scouting department has highlighted Anguissa’s experience as a perfect fit for their European aspirations.
