Sunderland have been linked with a move for Napoli’s Zambo Anguissa in the past and have now stepped forward for the midfielder. The Cameroon international has won two Serie A titles in Naples and played a key role in both campaigns. Despite that, Napoli failed to tie him down to a new contract last summer, which brought about doubts over his long-term future. Sport Witness have covered how intermediaries have been trying to find a new club, leading to Sunderland making initial contact. Now, Zambo Anguissa’s situation is heating up and the Black Cats are in the picture to sign him. Initial offer made by Sunderland Il Mattino – via CalcioNapoli24, reports the Black Cats are one reason the player’s agent Maxime Nana has been in Naples. Zambo Anguissa’s current deal at Napoli runs out in 2027. The midfielder’s agent wants to understand how the two parties could proceed forward. This came right after Sunderland made an offer to sign the Cameroon international. The approach was rejected by Napoli, who want €20m to sell Zambo Anguissa. The fee in question will help Napoli earn enough to sign a replacement. Their demand is seen as significant and presents the Partenopei’s stance of making his exit difficult. Another report from Il Mattino reiterates that Sunderland are keen. For now, Max Allegri wants to keep the former Fulham player in Naples.
