Tudor requests Bologna star as first Juventus signing

Juventus manager Igor Tudor has identified Dan Ndoye, the Swiss international winger from Bologna, as his top transfer target this summer.

 Tudor recently held a positive meeting with newly-appointed General Director Damien Comolli. During this meeting, the two discussed not only the Croatian coach’s future but also Juventus’s transfer strategy.

Italian media reports suggest that Tudor’s position is strengthening within the club. After Juventus missed out on top managerial targets like Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, the board now seems inclined to keep Tudor in charge.

Tudor has specifically requested the signing of Dan Ndoye, who had an impressive season at Bologna. The 24-year-old started his career at Lausanne-Sport and later played for OGC Nice and FC Basel before joining Bologna in the summer of 2023.

In the 2024/25 season, Ndoye made 41 appearances, scored 9 goals, and provided 6 assists across all competitions. Notably, he scored the winning goal in the Coppa Italia final against Milan, ending Bologna’s 61-year trophy drought.

While Juventus are keen on signing Ndoye, Napoli, now managed by Antonio Conte, are also showing strong interest in the player. This sets the stage for a potential transfer battle between two Serie A giants.
