Loaned to Malaga
Cajuste has moved to Malaga as part of a one-year loan deal with a purchase option from Serie A side Napoli, the team announced Tuesday.
Analysis: Cajuste should serve as a physical midfield contributor for a newly promoted La Liga squad that will likely include him in a rotation with Izan Merino, Dani Lorenzo and Carlos Dotor. The new loanee previously helped Ipswich Town to a Premier League promotion, tallying one goal and three assists across 30 Championship appearances (13 starts) in the 2025/26 season.
Returns to Napoli
Cajuste will return to parent club Napoli after a second loan spell at Ipswich that ended with the Swedish midfielder playing a diminishing role in the second half of the season, the club announced.
Analysis: Cajuste made 13 starts and 17 substitute appearances across the Championship campaign, contributing one goal and three assists in 1,192 minutes before falling out of the starting lineup as Jack Taylor and Dan Neil were preferred in the engine room. Despite starting the season promisingly, the midfielder saw his involvement drastically reduced in the final months, playing just 15 minutes across the last 10 league games. Napoli will now decide on his future with his contract at the Italian club expiring.
