Ndoye, Napoli tries the shortcut. Pinamonti reaches out to Bologna

On the income front, the name of Andrea Pinamonti (26 years old) for the attack is gaining traction. And that of Rolando Mandragora (27) for the midfield is emerging. On the transfer front, however, Bologna continues to put up a wall. Napoli is in action for Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema: but the rossoblù management reacts, reiterating their positions to the players' agents. De Laurentiis has had direct contact with the Swiss winger's agent, seeking an agreement with the player for the salary based on 3-3,5 million euros, in order to then force the hand with Bologna. Nothing to be done: the price of the player for Bologna remains between 50 and 55 million, no less, which is why Casteldebole is currently waiting for news from the Premier League or significant increases from Napoli who do not want to go beyond 70 million for the Ndoye-Beukema duo and for which Sancho remains in the background together with Chalobah, a sign that the new attempt at a move has not yet been successful.

Bologna is not giving up: Beukema is not considered on the market, Lucumi can leave by virtue of the clause and is in talks with Roma, Galatasaray and Aston Villa, while Ndoye will leave only under the rossoblù conditions. But he can leave and so here are the new contacts with Team Raiola, which represents Ruben Van Bommel (20 years old) of Az Alkmaar, a talent from the Under 21 Orange national team. He is currently the number one target for the role of winger, but we will have to wait until the end of the Under 21 European Championship to understand if there will be white smoke. He is the first, but not the only one: yesterday contacts with Parma for Dennis Man (26), a left-footed winger coming off a year with 4 goals and 5 assists, also because Parma has sounded out Erlic and Bologna, in addition to the possible replacement for Ndoye, is intent on expanding a squad that includes the return of Pedrola to Sampdoria.

In the meantime, negotiations are underway with Milan for Pobega, but the Rossoneri have rejected the proposal for a new loan with a right of redemption for 6-7 million for the midfielder. The game is not over, because Milan has opened up to the permanent sale of Pobega at a price lower than the 10 million foreseen by the redemption clause. But Bologna is looking around: contacts with Spezia for Salvatore Esposito and an investigation for a negotiation to be set up around 4-5 million.

Also surveyed with Fiorentina for Rolando Mandragora, whose contract expires in 2026, already coached by Italiano in Florence and a pawn suited to the 4-2-3-1 more than Pobega. But it's not over. With Team Raiola there is also talk of Pinamonti, who after the contacts of two days ago today went further: offering the availability to reduce his salary from the current 2 million in order to wear the rossoblù and with Sassuolo who has opened up to the loan with right of redemption at 10 million: important opening, considering the need of Bologna, for list reasons, to insert 1-2 Italians in the list. Reflections in progress, it is not yet time to lunge, but Pinamonti is closer.
