Napoli’s transfer market activity continues to generate buzz as manager Antonio Conte is reportedly on the verge of making an unexpected decision regarding the club’s attacking options.
The team, currently in Castel di Sangro for their pre-season preparations, is set to face Egnatia in a friendly match this evening.
According to Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Walid Cheddira, who has recently returned from his loan spell at Frosinone, is impressing Conte with his performances.
“Cheddira is proving to be a standout player in our preparations,” a source close to the team told Corriere del Mezzogiorno. “He could very well surpass Simeone in the pecking order.”
This news is sure to surprise many fans, as Giovanni Simeone, who has been a reliable figure in the squad, might see his position threatened by the emerging talent.
Conte’s decision regarding Cheddira will certainly be one to watch as the transfer window progresses.
It remains to be seen how this development will affect the team’s dynamics and what other moves Napoli might make in response to this potential shift in the squad.
