Napoli Want Bologna Duo Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema

Napoli want to sign Bologna’s Dan Ndoye to strengthen their wing position. New manager Antonio Conte wants to add talent before the 2025-26 Serie A season. Napoli have also started talks for Sam Beukema. Both Bologna players are in the spotlight after the club’s strong campaign.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT NAPOLI?

Antonio Conte, Napoli‘s new boss, wants to improve the squad after a poor 2024-25 season. Napoli missed out on Champions League spots and are now pushing to sign Dan Ndoye. He’s been crucial for Bologna, helping them win a surprise fourth place and a spot in the Champions League. Napoli already tried to buy Ndoye in January, but Bologna refused. Now, Napoli are back, showing interest in Ndoye and also targeting center-back Sam Beukema.

DAN NDOYE’S RISE AND VALUE

Swiss international Dan Ndoye had a standout season at Bologna. He scored key goals, including the winner in the Coppa Italia final. This helped Bologna win their first major trophy in over 50 years. Top clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea are interested in him too. Bologna value Ndoye at about €30 million. His contract lasts until June 2027, with an option for another year. Napoli see him as a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who might move to Paris Saint-Germain.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR NAPOLI AND BOLOGNA?

Napoli could make a strong start to Conte’s plans by securing Ndoye and Beukema. Conte wants to bring Napoli back to Serie A‘s top. Bologna aren’t ready to lose their key players easily, especially with Champions League football awaiting. Napoli’s upcoming matches will help assess team needs as they prepare for early pre-season tests. The outcome of talks with Bologna will shape both clubs’ transfer strategies and ambitions for the coming season.
