Torino's €6.5 million buy‑out clause stalls Napoli's Cajuste deal

Napoli have made it clear they require solid guarantees before allowing Swedish midfielder Cajuste to leave on a loan to Torino, with the Italian club proposing a conditional purchase option worth roughly €6.5 million. The demand for added protection is now the final hurdle in finalising the move.

Torino’s sporting director Petrachi is pushing for a loan that includes a conditional buy‑out clause set at around €6.5 million, allowing the club to assess Cajuste’s performance before committing to a permanent transfer.

Napoli, however, insist on stronger safeguards, arguing that the proposed formula must guarantee they retain control over the midfielder’s future, as he has fallen out of the club’s plans.

Secondo Tuttosport, the negotiation mirrors the arrangement Napoli used last season when Cajuste moved on loan to Ipswich Town, which also featured a buy‑out clause linked to specific conditions.

During that English stint, the Swedish midfielder featured in 31 matches, yet Ipswich deliberately limited his appearances to avoid meeting the criteria that would trigger the roughly €7.5 million purchase option.

The experience ended without a permanent transfer, and now Torino’s offer revives the possibility, pending agreement on the exact terms that would protect Napoli’s interests.
