Napoli, Anguissa could go the same route as Victor Osimhen: Antonio Conte takes cover and picks replacement
Napoli, Anguissa come Osimhen e Conte corre ai ripari: è sfida a tre (Lapresse) – SerieAnews
Six goals and four assists in 32 Serie A matches. André-Frank Anguissa’s best season in Serie A, thanks to Antonio Conte and the new role designed for him on the pitch. While on the surface the Cameroonian continues to play as a wing-half in a three-man midfield – with variations as an inside player if the midfield switches to two – the number 99’s movements have changed.
Seamless defense and attack, coverage in the portion of the field but also attacking depth as a fine forwards, to the point of being lethal with his foot and head, thanks to his armor-bearing physique. In short, if Anguissa since his arrival in Naples has always been indispensable, this season he is showing a new version of himself, even more decisive.
And he is also one of the secrets of Napoli’s lead with three days to go. Conte has been able to build a fiery midfield, with him and McTominay able to give heavy goals to the Azzurri team.
Anguissa, quale futuro: l’offerta che potrebbe indurlo all’addio
Anguissa’s future, however, may no longer be in Naples. The Azzurri club has activated a contract extension until 2027 but the number 99 could also decide to live another experience away from Serie A. It is no mystery that he is looking at meeting and would even be ready to ask the Azzurri to be sold should an offer of his liking arrive.

At the moment there have only been a few inquiries and nothing more from Premier League clubs but in the last few hours a team from Turkey has come forward for a route that would be similar to the one Osimhen took last September. It is not the Nigerian’s Galatasaray but the other Istanbul team, Fenerbahce.
José Mourinho specifically asked for him, after all, the Lusitanian coach already in his Roma days would have wanted him at the Giallorossi. And who knows, this time he may not succeed in the task.

Napoli would not object should the player’s desire be to go elsewhere but Anguissa would then have to be replaced appropriately. And here ds Manna has already taken action by also listening to the indications of Antonio Conte who as technical manager naturally wants to put his beak on the market choices of the partenopei.

The names are currently three, moreover they are old acquaintances of the Azzurri club, already on the notebooks of scouts. First and foremost is that Davide Frattesi who has an increasingly reserve role at Inter. Used sparingly by Inzaghi and only as Barella’s alter ego – except in cases of emergency – the former Sassuolo player in the summer could also decide to leave Milan and try a new experience elsewhere.
On Frattesi, however, there is also a strong Roma side that sees in the player the right profile for the Giallorossi midfield. And in Trigoria there is another profile very much liked by Conte: it is Lorenzo Pellegrini, a midfielder already probed in the winter with Napoli on the hunt for a profile with his characteristics.
Last January he was blocked by Ranieri, and who knows whether this time the time is ripe for his farewell. The third option, however, leads to Ferguson, one of the jewels of Italiano’s Bologna. Scottish like McTominay and Gilmour, who knows that “the air of home” might not induce him to marry the Azzurri project. However, it will not be easy to wrest him from Bologna, a notoriously overpriced store.
