Napoli: Zanoli and Cheddira to Udinese, Cagliari also interested | OneFootball

The final hours of the summer transfer window, as always, are red-hot, especially this season with Napoli dealing with, and continuing to deal with, numerous incoming and outgoing operations, with some very important updates continuing to arrive. At the moment, the various departures that Napoli still needs to finalize are on hold, as they will only be completed once the Azzurri finish securing the incoming transfers that are still pending.

Napoli, the latest departures: Zanoli and Cheddira heading to Udinese, but watch out for Cagliari!

According to Fabrizio Romano, Alessandro Zanoli is ready to become a new Udinese player after the Friulian club beat out competition from Bologna, who shifted their focus and signed Zortea from Cagliari. The 2000-born Azzurro, who played for Genoa last season, will become Udinese’s new right-back once Napoli finalizes the arrival of Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla. The deal could be completed at any moment, but for now, the Azzurri are focused on bringing in a new striker.

Speaking of strikers, another Napoli player awaiting developments in the club’s incoming transfer market is Walid Cheddira, the number 9 who played for Espanyol last season on a straight loan. Udinese has shown strong interest in the Italian-Moroccan, even scheduling his medicals, but the Partenopei blocked the move and will not let the striker leave until Lukaku’s replacement arrives—Hojlund is the favorite. In the past few hours, according to Alfredo Pedullà, Cagliari could make a surprise move and throw a wrench in the works for Udinese, who still have the player in their sights.
