Del Genio warns: an Anguissa offer now could force Napoli’s hand
Journalist Paolo Del Genio, speaking on Canale 8, dissected Napoli’s wage‑bill dilemma, highlighting how the club’s current spending could force a reshuffle of senior contracts and prompting the question of whether an immediate offer for midfielder Anguissa would be rejected.
Il tema del monte stipendi del Napoli continua a essere al centro del dibattito. During his appearance on Canale 8, Del Genio explained that the club’s payroll remains a critical issue for the management.
"Monte stipendi da abbassare? Quest’anno forse solo Lukaku va via, ma non va via De Bruyne, non va via Anguissa. L’anno prossimo invece potrebbero andare via e arrivano giovani quindi abbassi il monte ingaggi e paghi cartellini spalmati in quattro anni," Del Genio said, outlining a possible reduction strategy.
He noted that Bayer spreads Gutierrez’s fee over four years, while Napoli records the full amount immediately on its books.

Del Genio suggested that heavy contracts could be replaced by younger, more sustainable profiles next season, allowing the wage bill to shrink.
He asked, “If an offer for Anguissa arrives now, what do you do, don’t sell?” indicating uncertainty about current transfer options.
