Bologna-Napoli, contacts. First meeting for Ndoye and Beukema on Monday

Nothing concrete has been done from England Dan ndoye: and the Bologna, then, he prepares to talk about the offensive winger with the Napoli, summer queen of the market, which with almost 200 million in liquidity is the most concrete club in Italy and is a candidate for the role of master of the market, after having won the championship. After meetings with the entourage of the Swiss winger to reach a draft agreement on the salary (around 3 million with bonuses), Napoli has received the ok, from the same entourage, to contact the rossoblù management directly. The intention of Aurelio De Laurentiis' club is to put a total of 70 million on the table for the pair Ndoye-Beukema.

Bologna would not like to sell Beukema, given that on lucumi there is a clause that can be exercised in the first half of July for Lucumi (for 28 million, with Roma, Aston Villa and Galatasaray on his trail) and has set the price at 50 million for Ndoye. Napoli is offering the Danish attacking winger Lindstrom (25) and the right back Zanoli (24 years old) in return, to make the budget balance.

The first one, however, earns more than 2,5 million and Bologna basically wants cash and not compensation. Monday will be the decisive day to understand if Bologna will give in, assuming that in the meantime the concrete movements of Napoli do not trigger the auction. It will be the first step to measure the market strategies of the rossoblù, where yesterday they still considered the discussions with the Neapolitans to be embryonic, with the desire to talk about Ndoye, but starting from a price of 50 million, excluding compensation and without the intention of dealing with Beukema, given that Lucumi is a possible departure and Italiano has asked the management not to have to redo the entire central defensive axis of the team.

Manna and De Laurentiis have obtained an audience with Sartori and Fenucci for Monday, when it will be clearer whether Bologna will lower its demands or whether Napoli will raise its offer, aware that Bologna is still called upon to sell at least two, if not three players, to feed the incoming market and support the club's sustainability regardless of Saputo's finances. Something that already happened a year ago, with a market closed with a plus sign. The intention is identical.

Meanwhile Bologna is working on Ruben Van Bommel (20) of Az and on the Austrian Patrick Wimmer (24) of Wolfsburg for the possible replacement of Ndoye. A sign that, regardless of Lindstrom's proposal, he is at least preparing to listen to the Neapolitan proposal. Whether it will be listened to or not will be revealed at the summit scheduled for the beginning of the week.
