Napoli secures contract with Pandev
Napoli Legend Goran Pandev Signs Permanent Deal
Football legend Goran Pandev has officially signed a contract with Napoli, extending his stay with the Italian club until June 2016, with an option for an additional season.
Pandev's journey with Napoli began in 2010 when he joined the club from Lazio. His move to Napoli was met with excitement, and it didn't take long for the Macedonian striker to make an impact.
During his loan spell in the 2011/12 season, Pandev made 42 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven times. His performances were instrumental in helping Napoli win the Coppa Italia that season.
After returning to Inter, Pandev re-joined Napoli on a permanent basis in 2014. While he did not add major new titles with Napoli during his subsequent seasons, his notable achievements at the club came prior to 2014, including winning the Coppa Italia twice, in the 2011/12 and 2013/14 seasons.
Napoli were eager to secure Pandev on a permanent deal due to the ongoing uncertainty about the future of Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi. The club's decision was also influenced by Pandev's desire to stay at Napoli permanently.
Pandev, who feels at home at Napoli after a year there, expressed his excitement about his move, believing it to be the beginning of a golden age for the club. He has great confidence in Napoli's project and is hopeful that he can end his career at the club.
With his peak achievements with Napoli occurring before 2014, Pandev's subsequent seasons saw fewer major trophies. However, after leaving Napoli, he went on to win the Turkish league title and Turkish Cup with Galatasaray in the 2014/15 season.
As Pandev embarks on this new chapter at Napoli, fans can look forward to seeing him add to his impressive list of achievements with the club.
