Jens Cajuste was on loan at Ipswich Town last season, which secured second place in the Championship and will return to the Premier League. According to Fabrizio Romano, the loan agreement included a mandatory purchase option of €7.5 million, activated upon promotion and if Cajuste started at least half of the matches. However, Cajuste did not meet that condition, so the option was not triggered.
According to Opta, Cajuste has scored one goal and four assists in 30 league matches this season, starting 13 of them. Fabrizio Romano reports that his future is uncertain, and Ipswich must make a decision by June 10 on whether to sign him permanently.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cajuste left Stade Reims for Napoli in summer 2026 and has since struggled to establish himself at the Italian club. The same outlet reports that a previous loan deal with Ipswich included a purchase option but was not exercised due to relegation from the Premier League. A new loan agreement was reached this summer, according to La Gazzetta. The outlet also reports that it is only a formality until Ipswich completes the signing, describing it as a mere bureaucratic matter.
