Jens Cajuste transfer 2025 talks are heating up according to Sky as Burnley and Crystal Palace join the growing list of clubs targeting the Swedish midfielder.
After a standout loan spell at Ipswich Town last season, the 25-year-old looks set to leave Napoli permanently. Premier League sides, clubs in Serie A and Turkish giants Besiktas are all in the mix — but with Napoli slapping a €10m price tag on him, a deal could be sealed quickly.
McKenna Admits Return Is Unlikely
“There’s probably a lot to do for that to happen,” McKenna said, referencing a potential Cajuste return. — Kieran McKenna
Ipswich’s gaffer was full of praise but realistic about the financial and competitive challenge of re-signing the Swede.
Why Cajuste Is in High Demand
During his 2024/25 loan at Ipswich, Cajuste made 33 appearances, scoring once and nearly clinching the club’s Supporters’ Player of the Year, just 36 votes behind Liam Delap.
His mix of physicality, ball retention and maturity in midfield caught the eye of scouts across Europe.
Transfer Fee and Napoli’s Stance
Napoli are open to a permanent transfer, valuing Cajuste at €10 million (£8.5m). With three years left on his deal, the Serie A champions are hoping to cash in swiftly.
