Frosinone's Pursuit of Cheddira: Raimondo to Lead Attack Against Juventus if Deal Falters

August 21, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Frosinone is attempting to expedite the signing of Napoli's Walid Cheddira, aiming to have him available for Sunday's match against Juventus. The Moroccan striker reportedly rejected Pisa's advances, preferring to play in Serie A. Monza and Lecce are also reportedly interested in the player.

Alvini's Probable Formation

Regardless of whether Cheddira joins, Alvini is expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation for the clash against Spalletti's team, although a three-man defense remains a possibility. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Palmisani will start in goal, with Oyono on the right flank and Bracaglia on the left, facing competition from Terzic. Monterisi is slated to start at center-back alongside either Cittadini or Calvani. Despite transfer market speculation, Calò is anticipated to begin in midfield with Masini, supported by Ghedjemis, Schmid, and Kvernadze in the attacking midfield roles. Upfront, Alvini's only option is Raimondo, unless Frosinone can finalize a last-minute deal for Cheddira.

Frosinone is trying to speed up the process to acquire Walid Cheddira from Napoli in time to field him on Sunday against Juventus, after the Moroccan striker rejected Pisa's interest because he wants to play in Serie A. Monza and Lecce are also interested in the player.

Alvini's Probable Lineup

With or without Cheddira, for the match against Spalletti, Alvini should opt for a 4-2-3-1, although the hypothesis of a three-man defense persists. As reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, Palmisani will defend the goal with Oyono on the right and Bracaglia on the left, with Terzic also in contention. Monterisi and one between Cittadini and Calvani should start at the center. Despite market rumors, Calò should start in midfield alongside Masini, with Ghedjemis, Schmid, and Kvernadze in the attacking midfield trio. Upfront, Alvini has no alternative to Raimondo, unless the gialloazzurri can finalize Cheddira's arrival at the last minute.
