Pandev keen on permanent Napoli switch

The agent of Goran Pandev has claimed his client would welcome a permanent stay at Napoli. The Macedonian striker joined I Partenopei this summer on a season-long deal from Inter Milan. Pandev, who scored twice in yesterday's 3-3 draw against Juventus, has made eight league appearances for Napoli so far. "Considering the good rapport there is between the Napoli president and his Inter counterpart, there is a possibility that a permanent deal could be reached," Pandev's agent, Carlo Pallavicino, told Gazzetta dello Sport. "If that was to happen, we would be truly happy. For the time being we are happy that Pandev's arrival has been important for the team. "When you arrive at Naples, you no longer want to leave. Goran is more convinced that he wants to remain at Napoli." Pandev joined Inter from Lazio in January 2010 but failed to earn a regular spot in I Nerazzurri's starting XI.
