Napoli closing in on signing Tanguy Ndombele on loan from Spurs

Napoli have identified Tanguy Ndombele as a potential replacement for Fabian Ruiz, who is close to leaving the Italian club for Paris Saint-Germain.

A report from La Gazzetta dello Sport discusses that Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli is working on a deal to bring Tanguy Ndombele to Napoli. The report claims that the Naples-based side is interested in signing the former Lyon star on a season-long loan deal plus an option to buy worth โ‚ฌ30 million.

Nonetheless, the club remains reluctant to match his current salary. They donโ€™t intend to pay him an annual salary of over โ‚ฌ2 million. The midfielder earns a net salary of โ‚ฌ8 million per season at Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, he will have to take a significant pay cut to join the Serie A side.

The report understands that the 25-year-old Frenchman is keen on proving his worth while playing for a Champions League side. And thatโ€™s why he could fancy the chances of playing for Napoli even if he doesnโ€™t get what he is currently earning at the Premier League club.ย
