The saga involving Napoli and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele goes on, and the Italian media has some new information to share today.
Radio Kiss Kiss, relayed by Area Napoli, claims that the Serie A side were ‘disappointed’ with the loan spell he had at the club last year.
It’s claimed that Napoli saw big potential in Ndombele, believing they were betting on his future when signing him from Tottenham on a loan with an option to buy.
Following his time at the club, the Italian side were not only let down by his performances, but also by his attitude. It’s said the midfielder never came across as ‘a leader’.
That’s why Napoli decided not to sign him from Tottenham. They not only rejected the possibility of using the buying option, but also gave up on even negotiating a new fee for a permanent move.
Following the loan spell, Ndombele is back in Spurs’s squad, where he has a contract running until 2025.
His market value has recently dropped to €22m, according to Transfermarkt, and it’s getting harder to see the cub getting a good sale with him.
