Napoli really pursued Dan Ndoye for the post Kvaratskhelia, only to fall back on other targets and end up getting its hands on Okafor. Confirming this potential transaction was Ludovico Spinosi, who brokered the contacts between the two clubs. “Bologna made a wall right away, they never considered selling in the January market their jewels,” he told Radio Crc.
Will it therefore be discussed again in June? Perhaps, but it is not a given. “The summer market is completely different from the winter market in all respects,” Spinosi added, “I would like to stress that Bologna is not a small team, so it is not a given that players will leave this project so easily. The club does not need to sell. In Ndoye’s case, it will depend a lot on how his championship turns out: the turning point depends on whether he can improve his goal and assist statistics. He is a footballer who one-on-one goes off to everyone and always creates numerical superiority; he is undoubtedly a big-team profile. Bologna is an established reality and a team that is proving its worth. With Napoli in January we never went into details, because the Rossoblù club was never a circumstance to be considered.”
