Espanyol have ramped up their pursuit of Walid Cheddira, aiming to finalize a transfer deal with Napoli by Friday. The Spanish club is eager to bring the Moroccan striker into their ranks before the transfer window closes.
Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports on how Cheddira, who recently returned to Napoli following a successful loan spell at Frosinone, finds himself in a challenging position at his parent club. Despite his impressive performances last season, it appears there is limited space for him in Napoli’s current squad setup.
The 26-year-old forward caught the eye of several clubs with his performances at Frosinone, where he netted eight goals in Serie A. This productivity has not gone unnoticed, with Espanyol now pushing hard to secure his services.
The La Liga outfit are keen to strengthen their attacking options and views Cheddira as an ideal addition to their squad. They are now in advanced talks with Napoli, hoping to reach an agreement swiftly.
Espanyol’s management are working diligently to structure a deal that satisfies all parties involved. While the exact terms of the potential transfer remain undisclosed, it is believed that both clubs are exploring various options, including a possible loan with an option or obligation to buy.
