Napoli Forward Cheddira Draws Interest from PAOK and Verona

Napoli is currently evaluating offers for striker Walid Cheddira from both PAOK Salonika and Hellas Verona, with the Greek club seemingly in pole position to secure his signature.

Reports suggest that PAOK has been in negotiations for some time and is now motivated to improve their offer following Verona`s entry into the race. Industry insiders believe a deal could be struck for just over €3 million, potentially concluding before the week`s end.

Cheddira`s Likely Departure from Napoli

The 26-year-old forward, born and raised in Italy but representing Morocco internationally, has garnered six caps for the national team. His recent loan spell at Espanyol saw him net once and provide one assist across 22 LaLiga appearances.

Cheddira joined Napoli in 2023 for €3 million from Bari but has since been loaned out to Frosinone and Espanyol. His career has also included stints at Parma, Mantova, Lecco, and Arezzo.

As the transfer saga unfolds, it appears increasingly likely that Cheddira will be moving on from Napoli, with PAOK emerging as the frontrunner in this competitive pursuit.
