Revealed during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with Morocco, striker Walid Cheddira had managed to make a name for himself in Serie B in Italy. Under the colors of Bari, the 26-year-old striker had managed to be decisive with a season of 22 goals and 7 assists in 38 matches. Enough to catch the eye of Napoli who had decided to recruit him last summer. A transfer that was surprising? Not really since Bari belongs to Luigi De Laurentiis, son of Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Loaned to Bari for the 2023-2024 season, Walid Cheddira has returned to Naples with Antonio Conte. And after a rather interesting preparation, we could have thought that he would stay at the club this season. But that will not be the case. According to our information, he will sign in the next few hours with Espanyol Barcelona in La Liga. He will once again be loaned without an option to buy.
