Rabat – Italian football giant Napoli is interested in signing Morocco’s football player Walid Cheddira.

Italian transfer market webpage Calcio Mercato applauded Cheddira’s performances with Italian club, Bari, stressing that the Moroccan football player is “doing great things in Serie B.”
In addition to his appearances with Bari, Cheddira performed spectacularly with Morocco’s national football team during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
