Napoli have given the final green light for Walid Cheddira’s transfer to Espanyol. The Moroccan striker will join the Spanish club on a straight loan deal, marking a new chapter in his career.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Cheddira is set to depart for Spain following today’s match against Bologna, where he will be available for selection one last time in a Napoli shirt before embarking on his new adventure in La Liga. This move presents Cheddira with an opportunity to secure more playing time and consistency in a highly competitive league.
The 26-year-old forward is coming off a productive season on loan at Frosinone, where he netted 7 goals and provided 1 assist. His performances caught the eye of Espanyol, who have been keen to bolster their attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
For Napoli, this loan arrangement allows them to manage their squad effectively as they prepare for a season filled with multiple competitions. By sending Cheddira to Espanyol, the Italian club ensures that the player continues his development with regular first-team football while potentially increasing his market value.
