£8.5m wanted as recent Ipswich Town loan star draws Aston Villa, Udinese interest

Ipswich Town will not be keeping loan ace Jens Cajuste but Aston Villa and Udinese are keen on the midfielder, as per AreaNapoli.

Ipswich Town are preparing for their Championship return after failing to retain their Premier League status. ITFC fought against the odds to make it to the top flight, but were unable to muster up anywhere near enough points to stay up as they finished 19th.

Nonetheless, the Tractor Boys will now hope they can build for another promotion push under Kieran McKenna.

Relegation means key players could follow Liam Delap out the exit door though, and it has also brought an effective end to the possibility of impressive loan midfielder Jens Cajuste staying put. However, he could have a route back to England this summer.

According to AreaNapoli, recent Ipswich Town loan man Cajuste will be sold by parent club Napoli in the summer transfer window, and Aston Villa are keen.

The Sweden international also has admirers in France, while Serie A outfit Udinese have interest too. A move to the latter is described as ‘difficult’.

Napoli want €10m (around £8.5m) for Cajuste, a little less than the €12m (around £10.2m) buy option ITFC had in the loan deal.
