Napoli is likely to miss out on acquiring Bologna forward Dan Ndoye, as reports suggest the Swiss international is nearing a transfer to Nottingham Forest. Despite their interest, Antonio Conte’s team was unwilling to meet Bologna’s demands for the player. With Ndoye heading to the Premier League, Napoli is now turning its attention to alternatives in England’s top division, with Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa, Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling, and Manchester City’s Jack Grealish all being considered for a move to Naples.
The potential acquisition of a Premier League player comes after Scott McTominay’s successful transition from Manchester United to Napoli last summer. The Scottish international played a crucial role in Napoli’s Scudetto victory, earning the title of Serie A MVP and a spot in the league’s Team of the Season.
Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis and director Giovanni Manna are set to meet with Conte to strategize for the remaining transfer window. Among the discussed options are Chiesa, Sterling, and Grealish, as Napoli hopes to replicate McTominay’s success by discovering another Premier League talent.
