Exclusive: Inter and Napoli eyeing move for Cagliari talent Idrissi

Inter and Napoli are among the clubs who are keen on a future move for 20-year-old Cagliari talent Riyad Idrissi, who has already attracted offers from the likes of Parma, Torino and Udinese. 

Idrissi has been a revelation for Cagliari in what has otherwise been a troubling season that has left the team in last place in Serie A with no wins from their first nine games of the season. 

There is little doubt, however, about the qualities that the 20-year-old Idrissi offers. He is destined for a career at the very top. 

The youngster has already played a full season under new Cagliari head coach Fabio Pisacane when he was in charge of the club’s U19 set-up. He chipped in with four goals and four assists from 33 appearances at full-back that season. 

Idrissi spent the last campaign on loan with Modena, and with his performances, attracted the interest of Parma in January. Sporting director Tommaso Giulini flat-out refused to part ways with the Cagliari talent. 

This season, however, could be the one in which Idrissi established himself as a big talent in the top flight. In the meantime, Cagliari have rejected offers from Torino, Udinese and Genoa. 

There are still big clubs keeping an eye over Idrissi, though, especially Inter and Napoli.
