Bologna, Ndoye joins Nottingham for €50 million, Napoli miss out | OneFootball

Dan Ndoye will not become a new player for Napoli. The player wants to transfer to the Premier League and the transfer to Nottingham Forest is in the details.

The player will earn 5 million euros per season

Bologna, Ndoye to Nottingham for 50 million, Napoli beaten

An irresistible offer has changed the market balance. Dan Ndoye says goodbye to Serie A and flies to the Premier League: he will be a new player for Nottingham Forest. Sky Sport confirms it, revealing the details of a negotiation that had a surprising outcome, especially for Napoli, which has been chasing the Swiss winger from Bologna for weeks.

Napoli forced to give up: Ndoye goes to the Premier League

Despite a long courtship, Napoli had to surrender. Unlike what happened with Sam Beukema, for whom the blues won the competition, the Ndoye operation failed in favor of an English club capable of putting an economic proposal on the table that was difficult to refuse. Giovanni Manna, Napoli's sports director, will now have to recalibrate strategies and turn to other profiles to strengthen the offensive lanes.

The details of the deal: a record sale for Bologna

According to Sky Sport, the agreement with Nottingham Forest provides:

42 million euros fixed base to Bologna

Variable bonuses that can increase the overall value

20% on the future resale of the player

Alternative clause: if Ndoye is not sold in the next two years, the English club will pay an additional 7 million euros, bringing the total guaranteed to 50 million.

Furthermore, Ndoye has signed a contract worth 4.5 million net per season, which with bonuses can reach 5 million: a figure out of reach for any Italian club, Napoli included.

One of the most profitable operations in Rossoblù history

For Bologna, it is one of the most lucrative sales ever, if not the most profitable. The Emilian club, under the guidance of Joey Saputo, continues to demonstrate a remarkable ability to enhance its talents and maximize the economic return from market operations.

Ndoye's departure represents a significant technical loss, but at the same time an opportunity to reinvest in the market and continue the growth path undertaken in recent years.

A deal that reshapes the Italian market

Dan Ndoye's transfer is further confirmation of the economic strength of the Premier League, but also of the ability of Italian clubs, such as Bologna, to generate value and get the most out of their resources. Napoli takes a hit on the ambitions plane, while Nottingham secures a young, explosive, and already seasoned player at the highest levels.
