Napoli are reported to have offered former Blues loanee Jens Cajuste to Udinese as they look to sign Italian international striker Lorenzo Lucca in a cash-plus-player deal.
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, the Serie A champions are keen to include a player in the deal to sign Lucca, reportedly worth €30 million (£25.6 million), and have offered Cajuste and Jesper Lindstrøm, who spent last season on loan with Everton, to the Bianconeri as potential makeweights with talks said to be ongoing. Lucca is understood to have already agreed personal terms with Napoli running to 2030.
Town are keen to bring Sweden international Cajuste, who is contracted to the Azzurri until the summer of 2028, back to Portman Road following his successful loan spell during 2024/25 but with manager Kieran McKenna having admitted "there’s probably a lot to do for that to happen” following the final game of the campaign.
Cajuste, 25, made 26 starts and seven sub appearances for the Blues, scoring once and was beaten to the Supporters Player of the Year award by Liam Delap by only 36 votes.
