Napoli have identified Tanguy Ndombele as a potential replacement for Fabian Ruiz, who is close to leaving the Italian club for Paris Saint-Germain.
A report from La Gazzetta dello Sport discusses that Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli is working on a deal to bring Tanguy Ndombele to Napoli. The report claims that the Naples-based side is interested in signing the former Lyon star on a season-long loan deal plus an option to buy worth €30 million.
Nonetheless, the club remains reluctant to match his current salary. They don’t intend to pay him an annual salary of over €2 million. The midfielder earns a net salary of €8 million per season at Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, he will have to take a significant pay cut to join the Serie A side.
The report understands that the 25-year-old Frenchman is keen on proving his worth while playing for a Champions League side. And that’s why he could fancy the chances of playing for Napoli even if he doesn’t get what he is currently earning at the Premier League club.
