Besiktas to make a new offer for Frank Anguissa

The Frank Anguissa saga could take another turn in January. Besiktas want to strengthen their midfield and have reportedly once again targeted the Cameroon international at Napoli. According to Italian outlet TuttomercatoWEB, the 30-year-old is even coach Vincenzo Italiano’s preferred choice.

A profile sought by Vincenzo Italiano

For the second half of the season, the Italian coach wants a midfielder who can impose himself physically, keep possession under pressure and drive play forward with his ball-winning ability. The profile of Frank Anguissa would fit these requirements perfectly. The Cameroonian has significant experience at the highest level and had already been targeted by Beşiktaş officials during a previous transfer window.

The player’s contract situation could make negotiations easier. According to the Italian press, his contract with Napoli expires at the end of the season, and talks over an extension are currently stalled. Besiktas could therefore try to take advantage of the situation and sign him as early as January. Napoli’s stance on a possible departure during the season will be decisive.

Strong competition for the Cameroonian

The deal nevertheless looks complicated. Several Serie A clubs, teams from other major European leagues and Saudi sides are also reportedly interested in the Cameroonian midfielder, according to reports from Italy.

Besiktas will therefore have to contend with the competition and reach a financial agreement with Napoli. Anguissa’s decision about the next step in his career will also be crucial. The winter transfer window could revive a deal already explored by the Istanbul club, which hopes to get it over the line this time.
