On Monday, we saw a resurgence of articles looking at what Tanguy Ndombélé’s future could look like, as he is currently on loan at Napoli from Tottenham.
The midfielder is not in Antonio Conte’s plans at Spurs, which is why Fabio Paratici negotiated an option to buy in the deal with the Serie A club, set at around €30m.
Ndombélé took some time to adjust to his new surroundings, but has eventually become a part of Luciano Spalletti’s plans, although more as a rotation option than a regular starter.
This is why there are some doubts surrounding his future, as €30m is a lot of money for a club like Napoli, who have always been careful on the transfer market unless they firmly believe in a player.
It’s made clear he ‘still has a few weeks to convince Napoli’, and the decision will ultimately rest with Spalletti himself, as he ‘will be fundamental for the final choice’.
For now, the manager ‘wants to postpone any decision until the end of the season’, and it’s added that making the move from Tottenham permanent is ‘possible only with a substantial discount’.
If that is an option Spurs are open to, Cristiano Giuntoli is ‘ready to fly to London to re-discuss the price’ with Daniel Levy and the aforementioned Paratici.
