Why Napoli are struggling in a renewal for Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa has been a key player for Serie A giants Napoli since he joined from Fulham. He has won two Serie A titles and has become a symbol for the side too. His future has come under question and it appears as if the Partenopei face a struggle.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that discussions between the two parties have actually been exhausting. The midfielder earns โ‚ฌ3 million per season and his current deal runs out in 2027. Discussions were held with his agent over the summer but despite that, no clear progress has been seen.

While Napoli should be able to afford that wage, theyโ€™ve been troubled by the demands from his entourage. They also have increasing doubts over his fitness, as injuries have piled up in the last two seasons.

Giovanni Manna clarified the clubโ€™s stance before Napoliโ€™s 1-1 draw against Fiorentina too. He revealed that there is a chance parties part ways amicably, which suggests that a renewal is far from certain right now.

The problems are obvious and it would take a sacrifice from at least one party for them to come closer.
