Is Inter considering a signing that could ruin their club? Frank Anguissa, the midfielder who played Napoli's two league titles, will be released on a free transfer in June 2027. He's asking for six million net per season to renew his contract, but Napoli won't give him that, and according to Tuttosport, Marotta's Inter are pursuing him. It seems like a gift: but last season he missed twenty-four games due to injury, and six million net costs eleven a year.
In the video: what really happened, and what's just a rumor; who Anguissa is, from the Yaoundé neighborhood that bears his surname to the tournament he didn't want to go to; rejected at Reims, the trial with his grandfather's sweaters, Marseille, and the mistake in the Europa League final; the most expensive player in Fulham's history, relegated twice; Napoli on loan, two league titles, the goal for Daniele; the surge in Rabat and the four layoffs in less than a year. And then the scales: what would Chivu bring to Inter, how much would a "free" player really cost, what does Marotta's history with thirty-year-olds suggest, and under what conditions would it be worthwhile?

Inter's interest is a rumor from Tuttosport (September 27 and 28, 2026): there is no negotiation, and that's clear in the video. The asking price of €6 million net per season is reported by Rai, Tuttosport, Il Mattino, and market experts; the duration (three or four years) varies from source to source, and no figure is official. Sporting director Manna's statement is from the one he gave to DAZN on September 20, 2026, in the Sky Sport transcript; Marotta's statement is from the press conference of July 13, 2026. The gross cost (approximately eleven million, six million net) follows Calcio e Finanza's calculations: thirty-three and forty-four million are declared calculations. Anguissa's comments on childhood come from his interviews with France Football (2019), L'Équipe (2022), and UEFA.com (2024). That the deal is worthwhile "on one condition" is a given, and the video states it as such. There are no official match footage in the video.
