Napoli transfer target Walid Cheddira has lured the eyes of top clubs, but his agent Bruno Di Napoli insists that the Morocco international has his target fixed on bringing Bari back to Serie A from the second-tier. However, early last week, Bari sporting director Ciro Polito echoed the player’s intention to take the next step in his career.
Speaking to TuttoBari (via Calciomercato), the intermediary revealed the background behind reports surrounding his client’s potential exit.
“Walo has never taken into consideration any of the offers that arrived during the transfer market. In his head there is only the Serie A goal with Bari. Last year if someone had said that he would play in the World Cup they would have thought him to be crazy. He is a boy who lives normally day to day, and thinks of nothing else but Bari. He wants to give his best for the club that believed and invested in him, it is right that he repay the trust of De Laurentiis, Polito and Mignani.”
Napoli patron Aurelio De Laurentiis, who also serves as the honorary president of Bari, is understood to be a key factor for the Partenopei’s advances.
Cheddira played a key role in helping Morocco march until the semifinals of the World Cup before being knocked out by France. Understandably, the 24-year-old’s displays have warranted great attention.
