Images released from the club’s training sessions on July 23, 2026, capture the Indomitable Lion in high spirits, working directly under the supervision of newly appointed manager Massimiliano Allegri. His active participation heavily signals his retention as a tactical cornerstone for the club’s upcoming 2026/27 Serie A campaign, squashing months of heavy exit speculation.
A Crucial Tactical Role Under Allegri
Following a challenging conclusion to last season marked by a lingering injury, Anguissa’s technical and moral recovery has become an immediate priority for the technical staff. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri is designing a fluid 4-3-3 system for the tactical rebuild, positioning the powerful 29-year-old anchor as a non-negotiable component of his three-man midfield line.
- Intense Drills: The recent training sessions at the SKI.IT Arena featured heavy high-speed pressing, tactical ball circulation, and stamina-building exercises.
- Special Attention: Media reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that assistant manager Landucci spent extensive one-on-one time with Anguissa on the pitch to help him find his smile and confidence.

Warm Welcome from the Tifosi
Despite ongoing media rumors linking the player with moves to Turkey’s Beşiktaş or lucrative clubs in Saudi Arabia, the local supporters have made their stance clear. The Neapolitan tifosi present at the training facilities gave the Cameroonian star a highly enthusiastic and warm reception, cheering his name as he dominated the midfield practice matches.
Contract Clause Activated
Reinforcing his central role in the club’s long-term framework, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Napoli has officially activated the extension clause present in Anguissa’s contract. The legal update binds the Indomitable Lion to the Partenopei until June 2027, successfully shielding the club from losing their premier midfielder for free.
