Ipswich Town have reportedly entered the race to sign Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste, who spent the 2024–25 season on loan at Portman Road. The Swedish international impressed during his time in the Premier League, making 32 appearances, scoring once, and contributing an assist. His performances have attracted interest from several clubs, including Turkish giants Beşiktaş, who have reportedly made a loan offer with an option to buy.
Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has acknowledged Cajuste’s quality and hinted at the possibility of a permanent move, stating that discussions about the midfielder’s future would take place at the end of the season. However, with Ipswich relegated to the Championship, it’s uncertain whether Cajuste would be willing to remain in the second tier of English football.
Beşiktaş’s offer includes a €1 million loan fee and a €6.5 million buy option, which could become obligatory under certain conditions. Negotiations between the Turkish club and Napoli are ongoing. Ipswich, while interested, may face challenges in securing a permanent deal due to financial constraints and the club’s relegation.
Cajuste’s versatility and experience make him a valuable asset for any club. His decision will likely depend on the offers he receives and his aspirations for playing top-tier football.
