Manchester United may very well be dealt a critical blow by Napoli with the Italian champions accelerating a transfer for a long-term goal at Previous Trafford – Dan Ndoye.
Ndoye, 24, has loved a powerful season for Bologna, returning eight objectives and 4 assists in 30 appearances in Serie A.
This was then capped off by the winger scoring the profitable aim within the Coppa Italia closing to safe Bologna its first trophy in 51 years by beating AC Milan 1-0.
United made attempts to sign Ndoye last year and a report relayed The Peoples Particular person final month revealed the membership have been “ready to move” for the Switzerland worldwide as soon as once more this summer season.

Tweet: “Napoli are progressing in talks to signal Dan Ndoye with private phrases now nearly agreed. Discussions ongoing with Bologna, Conte has accepted Ndoye as goal already final month as reported. Jadon Sancho stays on Napoli checklist however not at present wage/price situations.”
Romano reveals discussions are ongoing with Bologna, suggesting an settlement on value is but to be struck, however Antonio Conte has personally accepted Ndoye as a goal and efforts are ramping as much as seal a deal.
However this might have a ripple impact on Napoli’s curiosity in United winger Jadon Sancho, who is about to return to Previous Trafford this month after Chelsea activated a £5 million cancellation clause in his mortgage to Stamford Bridge.
United are determined to shift Sancho completely this summer season with the 25-year-old’s contract set to run out subsequent 12 months, although the membership reserves the appropriate to set off a twelve month extension.
There’s rising curiosity from the Saudi Professional League in Sancho but it surely’s unclear if he would think about a transfer to the Center East at this stage of his profession.
As a substitute, as defined by The Peoples Particular person here, Napoli have expressed an curiosity within the winger and he, in flip, has communicated his willingness to affix the Serie A champions.
However Napoli have already communicated they’re unwilling to match neither United’s valuation of Sancho – £25 million – nor the winger’s wage packet at Previous Trafford, price in extra of £250,000 every week, as Romano notes.
And if the Neapolitan membership have been to safe a deal for Ndoye, who is anticipated to value between £25-35 million, who operates in the identical positions as Sancho, the probability of an settlement being struck with United turns into much more distant.
