The latest Jens Cajuste transfer news has revealed the Napoli central midfielder is set to return to Ipswich Town on loan.
Cajuste impressed during his temporary spell at Portman Road last season. The Sweden international gained many admirers despite the Tractor Boys relegation from the Premier League.
During the home defeat to Nottingham Forest in March, Cajuste scored what turned out to be the Goal of the Month in England’s elite soccer division.
Jens Cajuste Transfer News
Napoli are the +188 favorites with Serie A betting sites to go on and retain the Scudetto this season. That is largely owing to the strength in depth they have across the pitch. Particularly in midfield.
Therefore, allowing Jens Cajuste to leave the Maradona Stadium again is not deemed a huge risk. According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, Ipswich and the Azzurri are discussing the possibility of a ‘paid loan.’
However, the Tractor Boys could face late competition from clubs in England and Turkey. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Besiktas have been linked with Cajuste alongside Burnley and Crystal Palace.
How Much Will Ipswich Pay For Jens Cajuste?
With a reunion on the horizon between Ipswich and Jens Cajuste, it’s reported that the ‘paid loan’ will require an upfront fee of €2million to take the Swede for the 2025-26 season.
From the Tractor Boys perspective, that is hardly a risk considering how well he performed last year. However, the negotiations are still being thrashed out over the potential to make the deal permanent.
Napoli will happily do business for €7.5m. That is an option to buy that would only become active should Kieran McKenna’s side earn promotion back to the Premier League.
Jens Cajuste Contract And Salary
According to Capology, Jens Cajuste currently has three years remaining on his Napoli contract. His current deal sees him pocket approximately €29.6k per week.
Naturally, the Azzurri would want Ipswich to cover his salary for the 2025-26 campaign. If the 25-year-old Sweden international does decide to go back to Portman Road on loan.
If the Tractor Boys do earn promotion from the EFL Championship, it’s likely that Cajuste will earn a pay rise once the deal becomes permanent.
