A goal at Maradona, a never-ending courtship and now a concrete proposal. Napoli has chosen where to start to please Conte. At stake is an outfielder who runs hard and another who, in Naples, has run little
Napoli, 20 milioni e Ngonge: così si accontenta Conte (LaPresse) – serieanews.com
There is great anticipation to see what campaign Napoli will really do. De Laurentiis promised Antonio Conte: this time it’s spending, this time it’s serious. And it was the only way to keep him.
Because Conte has asked for the market, and how much he has asked for it. He needs guarantees. He wants ready people, two per role, long bench, people who come in and change the game. Because there will be more than just the championship. And you can’t get to March with reserves squeezed and ideas exhausted.
This year’s Naples was built to do one thing, and it did it in the best way possible. But now it is starting from scratch, or almost. And rebuilding means changing at least four or five starters. Not just for a change of scenery, but to really make a leap.
We need players who are already taking off or who have already taken off, not blind bets. Those who have given their all this year, maybe you thank them and move them to the bench. Or you escort him to the door. Without drama, but also without sentimentality.
Napoli, tutto su Ndoye: pronti Ngonge più conguaglio
The role that screams the loudest is left outside attack. Since Kvaratskhelia left, a chasm has opened up there. In January it was all a scrambling. Neres always broken, Spinazzola adapted, Okafor not even seen. Conte watched, waited, then shrugged. None of the three convinced him. And he made that perfectly clear.

In January, a concrete idea had been there. It didn’t go through, but it didn’t end there either. Because now that name is coming back very strongly: Dan Ndoye. One who at Napoli has already hurt in person, with an eye-popping goal. And who at Bologna had a real season. Maturity, pace, strength. He is ready. Ready to move up a level. And Naples could be the right step. Also because he has been followed there for months. And Manna, with the agents, has already been talking. The agreement is there. All that is missing is the yes from Bologna.
The demand is high: 35, maybe 40 million. A lot, too much, according to Napoli. But there is an idea to lower the price: the quid pro quo. Ngonge. Arrived from Verona for about 20 million, never really entered Conte’s radar. One who has a market, but won’t stay in Naples. So the set-up takes shape: 15 million the valuation of the Belgian, plus another 20-25 cash. A concrete offer, and above all also useful to Bologna, which in Ngonge sees a profile compatible with Italiano’s idea of play.
Then it can be done. Ndoye on the left, Zhegrova on the right – which remains the hottest name – and finally Conte would have those two arrows he has been asking for weeks. Garnacho? Fascinating suggestion, but he may be off the radar by now. Ndoye is more real. And more within reach. Not least because he wants Naples. He’s said it, he’s made it clear, he’s waiting for it. Conte as well.
