Exclusive: Cheddira must choose between Udinese and Cremonese

Walid Cheddira is set to leave Napoli, but after options from abroad didn’t go through, he is now choosing between Udinese and Cremonese.

It has been a busy summer for Cheddira, with interest from several clubs outside of Italy, but it seems as if he wants to remain and have his say in Serie A.

Udinese are continuing to push for the loan move and remain the favourites, but over the last few hours there has been a sudden approach from Cremonese.

Crucially, the newly promoted side is ready to make it a permanent purchase from Napoli, which may well convince both the player and his club.

The striker is a 27-year-old Morocco international who played in the 2022 World Cup, but never managed to make his mark at Napoli.

Since joining from sister club Bari in 2023, he has gone on loan to Frosinone and Espanyol, so is now hoping for something a little more permanent.
