Report Napoli cannot celebrate Cajuste sale to Ipswich Town yet
Napoli cannot celebrate the sale of Jens Cajuste yet, as Fabrizio Romano reports promotion isn’t enough to activate the Ipswich Town €7.5m option to buy.
The midfielder was sent out to the Championship side last summer on loan with an option to make the move permanent at a cost of €7.5m.
It had been reported that this included a clause making the purchase an obligation in case of promotion to the Premier League.
So with the Tractor Boys stepping up to the top flight this weekend, Napoli had hoped to cash in on Cajuste.

However, transfer pundit Romano warns the clause in question also includes the requirement that he play in 50 per cent of their games, and he hasn’t achieved that target yet.
The Sweden international has featured in 31 games between the Championship and FA Cup this season, contributing one goal and four assists.
