Bologna is hoping to keep Dan Ndoye and is trying to convince him to sign a new contract with a higher salary. If he signs a contract extension, it would end Nottingham Forest's chances of signing him this summer.

The track leading to Dan Ndoye remains on standby due to the gap between demand and offer with Bologna, which is slowing down the operation. De Laurentiis and Manna are not in a hurry and are considering alternatives like Edon Zhegrova from Lille and Callum Hudson-Odoi from Nottingham Forest, but no negotiation is in an advanced stage.

Dan Ndoye, with a contract expiring beyond 2027, is in discussions with Bologna for a contract extension.
