Bologna is looking to land Cyril Ngonge, the Napoli striker, who arrived a year ago for around 20 million. In his calendar year he didn’t fully convince, especially because he first paid for settling into a team adrift. between changes of coaches and presidential diktats. Then, when Antonio Conte arrived, he had to face really important competition in his role, also because there is no escape valve of a third competition like the Champions League, Europa League or Conference could be.
So now there is no veto for his possible farewell. Or at least goodbyebecause Bologna intends to present a loan offer with option to buy, with the right set at approximately 18 million euros. More or less what I paid a year ago to bring him to Naples. He would be the possible replacement for Cambiaghi, who tore his ligaments at the end of August and is unlikely to return before April.
So far Ngonge has not had a starring season with Napoli. Closed by Kvaratskhelia, Politano and Neres, he played five matches in the league, plus three in the Italian Cup where he scored two goals. In the summer he had already been close to Bologna on loan with obligation to buy, while Lazio tried to come in at the last minute but were unable to reach an agreement with the Azzurri. Now the situation is different and there is no need for a permanent transfer, although the valuation is still high.
