Genoa Make Cajuste Enquiry
Tuesday, 30th Jun 2026 16:40

Genoa are reported to have made an enquiry to Napoli regarding former Blues loanee Jens Cajuste.

The Sweden international has spent the last two seasons on loan with Town with the deal which saw him return last summer including an option to buy.

However, with the midfielder’s involvement having been limited throughout the campaign, the Blues chose not to pursue a permanent switch.

Now, widespread reports in Italy claim the 26-year-old is set to end his three-year stint with Napoli this summer with Genoa having made an approach.

Across his two spells with Town, Cajuste made 40 starts and 24 sub appearances, scoring twice.

Meanwhile, Genoa striker Jeff Ekhator, 19, a player who the Blues have been eyeing, is reported to be the subject of Juventus interest but with talks between the two clubs regarding a cash-plus-players deal worth €18 million (£15.5 million) having broken down, although likely to be revisited.

Monkey_Blue added 17:18 - Jun 30 Whilst McKenna was here the door was always slightly ajar at least. Think McKenna leaving also ruled out any chance he’d be back.

Tedray added 17:26 - Jun 30 I did not seem to notice any sort of "farewell" to Cajuste or for that matter Azon unless I missed it. They both seemed good personalities who had their moments on the pitch. (Loved Azons wonderful backheel for Kaseys goal) Perhaps me just being a bit sensitive.Will our recruitment be the real thing or a delayed washout.We shall soon know.

Well, with all the contract stuff being settled tomorrow, I'd expect movements both ways from then onwards. Not too surprised nothing apart from the usual rumours has actually happened officially yet.

As for Jens, like a few, I thought he was going to be a " cheat code " in the Championship, well like the few, I got it wrong. I wish him all the very best for the rest of his career. A likeable guy.

Got no time for players that don't give one hundred percent for the club that's the least you should expect if you don't manager's tend to not want to use you this is wot happened to Cajuste im afraid very rarely used latter end of the season. Azon is the complete opposite lacking in certain areas of his game but gave his all for the club and so got more game time a good professional hope he does well in the future.

bigolconnor added 19:32 - Jun 30 He definitely was good enough for premier league. The problem was he didn’t train with the rest of the squad ever because his knee was so bad he needed injections and rest after every match. Friend of a friend told me.

chepstowblue added 19:32 - Jun 30 He was actually more suited to the PL than the championship, and one of the very few who came out of the last Prem campaign with any credit. I could name 20+ of the current squad who are nowhere near good enough !

Karlosfandangal added 10:01 - Jul 1 Agree with Chepstowblue did well in the Prem and maybe KmK would have brought him if still here. I prefer Taylor to Cajuste last year and hope Taylor will be able to cope with the Prem this time round. Still think Town need a class midfielder

Marinersnose added 10:19 - Jul 1 He’s history. Injury prone and after last season lazy. We need an upgrade and yes he did well in the PL last time out but rarely completed a full game

Linkboy13 added 16:03 - Jul 3 Stop dreaming Cajuste didn't do well in the Premier league showed some nice touches agreed and McKenna completely disregarded him at the end so wouldn't have signed him. Not one club in the Premier league has shown a genuine interest in him that's how good he is and like last season he will have great difficulty finding a top club.
