From Inter | Goran Pandev Striker Fee: Loan transfer Contract: Jun 2012 | To Napoli |
Napoli has announced on its official website it has signed Inter striker Goran Pandev on a season-long loan.
The Macedonia international had long been tipped to leave San Siro and was most recently linked with German club Schalke, and Serie A outfit Genoa.
Though the move has been confirmed by Napoli, Pandev had already revealed he was on his way to the Stadio San Paolo earlier on Friday.
"I am very happy to be able to play the Champions League with a club like Napoli as they are a very important club," he told Sky Sport Italia.
Napoli wasted no time in moving for the forward after being told Villarreal's Giuseppe Rossi was unlikely to join them.
Pandev reportedly arrives on a free loan agreement, with Inter paying the greater share of his wages for the 2011-12 season.
Coach Gian Piero Gasperini thus lose another striker following Samuel Eto'o's departure last week. However, Diego Forlan could be in line to move to Inter after his agent confirmed talks were taking place.
The 2010 Champions League winners have also been associated with Genoa's Rodrigo Palacio and Lazio's Mauro Zarate.
