Napoli: Rrahmani near new deal, Anguissa talks stall | OneFootball

Napoli’s management is working to secure its key players ahead of the second half of the season. According to Il Mattino, the Neapolitan club is finalizing two crucial dossiers: those of Amir Rrahmani and Frank Anguissa.

Napoli, contract renewals on the horizon: Rrahmani close to an extension, negotiations with Anguissa become complicated

The Kosovan defender, who arrived in Naples in 2020 and has become a mainstay of the Azzurri’s backline, is very close to renewing his contract. The agreement includes a two-year extension, with the new expiration date set for June 2028.

Only a few details remain to be ironed out regarding bonuses and the structure of his salary, but the signing is expected in the coming weeks. The club considers Rrahmani a pillar of Conte’s defense and wants to finalize the deal before the winter transfer window.

Anguissa asks for a raise: negotiations are tough

The situation with Frank Anguissa is more complex. The Cameroonian midfielder, a key figure in Napoli’s midfield, has requested a significant salary increase compared to his current contract, which expires in 2026.

The parties remain far apart on salary, but both sides are willing to find common ground. Napoli appreciates the player’s value and leadership, but does not intend to exceed the internal salary cap set by president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Negotiations will continue in the coming weeks, with the aim of avoiding tensions ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, a competition Anguissa will participate in with Cameroon in January.

Club strategy: secure the leaders and ensure continuity

Napoli’s plan is clear: confirm the group’s reference points and provide Conte with a solid foundation on which to build the immediate future. Rrahmani’s extension represents a sign of stability, while Anguissa’s will be the next test in the relationship between the club and the locker room.
