Sunderland Having previously tried to sign Andre-Frank Zambo Anguilla from Napoli, he has been given encouragement for another move.

Last summer, there were doubts over the Cameroon international’s future at Naples. This came as Napoli won their second Serie A title in three years, with the midfielder once again making a key contribution.

That’s when Sunderland attempted to sign the ex-Fulham player upon their return to the top-flight. sports witness Covered his approach, as Zambo Anguilla preferred to compete for silverware for Napoli rather than head to the Stadium of Light.

There were indications that his family were keen to return to England, but that did not change the 30-year-old’s mind.

Now, things are changing and Regis Le Bris’ team has been given a chance.

napoli now open for sale

Il Mattino – relayed by footballnapoli1926There are reports that several Napoli players could end up in England in the summer.

There is a possibility that Zambo Anguilla goes down that route. The newspaper has made it clear that if the Black Cats come forward to Cameroon, this time they will ‘not find the door closed’.

The Italian giants are aware that they may be forced to sell some key players this summer. Zambo Anguissa is now seen as a senior member of the team, but he could depart in 2027 with his current deal intact.

This makes 2026 the last opportunity for Napoli to make some significant earnings from player sales.

Zambo Anguissa’s family are also believed to be keen to return to England. This could swing things in Sunderland’s favour, as Napoli are currently prioritizing a sale over Premier League clubs.

Our View: The Black Cats must rise to the occasion

The former Fulham man is unlikely to spend much on a move in the summer due to his contract situation.

Last summer, Sunderland signed a Premier League-proven midfielder in Granit Xhaka. Like the Swiss star, Zambo Anguilla has also won league titles while away from the English top-flight. He is even younger than Xhaka was when he arrived at the Stadium of Light.

The only drawback to this move would be Zambo Anguilla’s recent fitness record. He has struggled physically this season and it has held him back throughout the campaign.

But for a low fee, he could be a gamble worth taking on for Sunderland.

evertonInterest in defender Kevin Bouma is now likely to wane after he is ruled out of the rest of the season.

Record report on centre-back today And how interest has gradually waned following an injury suffered in February. This happened despite several approaches for him in the January transfer window.

long term injury

The newspaper reports that Kevin Bouma will not return from injury until next season. The Togolese centre-back has injured a right thigh muscle.

He has been out of action since February due to this problem and now the 23-year-old player will be out till the next season.

Before the injury, Bouma was establishing himself as a key player for GD Estoril Praia and attracting considerable attention. Reports in January indicated that there were unsuccessful approaches from Paris FC, Besiktas, Everton and Augsburg.

Sport Witness covered it at the time, This also includes this report which states that Everton It wouldn’t take a big offer to get the Defender.

Now that interest has gradually diminished due to his injury. But it may not disappear completely due to his contract situation.

Contract opens up transfer opportunities

Kevin Bouma’s current deal with the Portuguese side runs until 2028. This means he will enter the final two years of his contract with them this summer.

As always, it’s an issue. Ideally, it should sell this summer. its value, Which is worth €6m according to TransfermarktThis is also the highest ever. This is a good price for Estoril but for other clubs like Everton it is a profitable deal.

Of course, they will want to fully assess the injury before taking any action. But there is the possibility of a deal being struck this summer if they want.

A lot will depend on how Bouma returns from this extended absence. But having now ruled out a return this season, the focus may be on returning to fitness and reviving interest from January.

Chelsea are once again facing increasing noise around Enzo Fernandez and his move away from Stamford Bridge, with the Spaniard’s latest claims suggesting the situation is rapidly changing.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times. Earlier reports had him as one of several options, with Rodri seen as the priority target. However, that stance now seems to be changing.

It follows the first Updates covered this morningWhere Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo described Fernandez as a “guaranteed signing” profile for Madrid, highlighting both his leadership and World Cup pedigree. However, at that stage, he was still designed as an option rather than the main focus.

Change in thinking of Real Madrid

According to journalist Raul Varela, speaking radio brandThe situation has now tilted significantly in favor of Fernandez.

He said: “Enzo is very close to Madrid, Rodri has no chance to go to Madrid. Today, the president does not want to sign Rodri.”

That’s a strong claim, especially considering that Rodri was widely seen as the ideal midfield addition. The argument appears to be both financial and strategic, with age and long-term value playing a role.

Enzo Fernandez Comments and Feedback

Enzo Fernandez’s own words have also added fuel to the fire. As we covered earlierHe said he would “really love” to stay in Madrid.

That comment went unnoticed. one more Mark Journalist Irene Junquera suggested that the midfielder may not feel completely comfortable in London and is ready for a change. He said such comments were unlikely to be well received internally at Chelsea.

This cannot be completely true. In same podcast He spoke about the possibility of staying in Madrid, with Enzo saying: “I like language [English]. I speak it, I understand it. It’s not like I’m roaming on the streets all day. But inside the club I say it every day with everyone.

Anyhow, other voices on the same program took a more football-centric approach. Journalist Amalio Moratalla highlighted Fernández’s quality and suitability for Madrid.

“He is a top-class player who will definitely fit in at Real Madrid; the question is what price Chelsea will set and what effort Real Madrid will have to make,” He said.

While Nacho Palencia pointed to the appeal of joining a club of that stature.

“It’s Real Madrid that wants you, not Antequera [an amateur level side from Spain]. It is a very favorable situation for the player and his family, and Madrid needs a player of that profile; This will be a very beneficial deal for both parties.

What does this mean for Chelsea

Enzo Fernandez will remain under contract at Chelsea until 2032, and his current market value sits around €90m (£77m) transfer market. However, with Chelsea having paid €123m (£106.8m), any deal may need to exceed that figure.

So Chelsea is still in a strong position. Still, the story is developing. Earlier reports had described Madrid’s interest as exploratory. Now, at least in Spain, there is a growing belief that Fernandez is the more realistic signing.

At present there has been no confirmation of formal talks. Nevertheless, a combination of player comments, media support and changing priorities in Madrid keeps it tenaciously alive.

what happens next

The Enzo Fernandez situation looks set to become one of the major stories of the summer.

If Real Madrid advances decisively, Chelsea will face a major decision. They can either protest and build around him, or consider a sale that would reshape their midfield.

A lot may depend on timing. Fernandez has previously said he would do so Assess his future after the World Cup. Until then, Chelsea may face continued noise and increasing pressure over one of their biggest investments.
