Nottingham Forest Makes Official Bid for Bologna Winger Dan Ndoye

Football & Cricket

Premier League club Nottingham Forest has reportedly submitted an official offer to acquire Bologna winger Dan Ndoye. This development comes from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, indicating a serious intent from Forest to sign the Swiss international.

Ndoye has been a primary target for Italian club Napoli, who are actively seeking to reinforce their attacking winger position. Napoli has already secured Noa Lang for this role, but their interest in Ndoye remains strong. Despite Napoli`s pursuit, Forest`s move suggests a direct challenge for the 24-year-old`s signature.

According to Romano, Dan Ndoye has already given his approval for a potential transfer to Nottingham Forest. The onus is now on Bologna and Forest to agree upon a transfer fee.
