Pandev nearing permanent Napoli switch

Italian TV station Mediaset reports that Napoli have agreed to sign forward Goran Pandev on permanent basis.

The Macedonian striker arrived to San Paolo on loan from Inter last summer and he enjoyed a promising campaign with the Azzurri.

He seems to have done enough to persuade the Napoli chiefs to try and make his loan deal permanent and Mediaset reports the transfer is close to being completed.

According to the source, Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis and Inter owner Massimo Moratti have agreed an €8 million fee for the 28-year-old.

The Azzurri are already preparing for life without Ezequiel Lavezzi, who is set to leave San Paolo this summer, with youngster Lorenzo Insigne and Goran Pandev set to vie for a starting berth.

Goran Pandev has scored 6 goals and produced 5 assists in 30 Serie A games last term, but he could face a tough challenge from Insigne, who bagged 18 goals in 37 Serie B games while on loan at Pescara.
