Dan Ndoye has thrived in his last two seasons with Bologna.
The 24-year-old really showed his quality with his winning goal for the Rossoblu in the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan.
However, in reality Ndoye has provided far more than just the big moments.
The former Basel winger's pace and technical skill have been a key outlet for Bologna under both Thiago Motta and Vincenzo Italiano.

Ndoye's form has certainly not gone unnoticed by the big clubs in Serie A.
Last summer, Inter had eyed up a move for the Bologna winger. In fact, they scouted his performances for Switzerland at EURO 2024.

Inter's idea would have been to use Ndoye as a wingback. He was a prime candidate to back up – and, in the long term, replace – Denzel Dumfries on their right flank.
Now, however, it looks to be Marseille's Luis Henrique who is at the top of Inter's list at wingback.
Meanwhile, Napoli have also shown an interest Ndoye. In the January transfer window, they offered Bologna €20 million plus add-ons for the Swiss.
However, the Emilian club turned that bid down. They want a considerably larger fee.
Tuttosport report that this summer, Bologna would aim to cash in to the tune of €40 million for Ndoye.
And the calibre of clubs interested suggests that this is far from an unreasonable demands.

Speaking to Inter TV via FCInterNews, he revealed why he decided to join the Nerazzurri despite being courted by other top clubs.

Indeed, Petar Sucic had struggled with a long-term knee injury when the clubs struck an agreement. Therefore, Inter thought staying in his homeland for six more months would be in his best interest. But the waiting is over. Sucic signed the papers today, meaning he will be available for Inter's upcoming trip to North America. The Nerazzurri will fight for FIFA Club World Cup glory, and the Croatian midfielder will likely be part of the squad. Petar Sucic Reveals Why He Joined Inter Milan 'To me, Inter is one of the biggest clubs in Europe,' he stated. 'When the opportunity arose to come here, I had absolutely no doubts. Advertisement 'I really wanted to join, it's a huge opportunity. I know how prestigious this club is and what it represents, and I'm very happy to be here.' Meanwhile, Sucic worked under former Inter defender Fabio Cannavaro toward the end of his Dinamo Zagreb career. 'He spoke very highly of it – about the league, the club, about Italy, and about Milan. We had a great chat.' Then, he discussed his potential role at Inter. 'I don't really like to talk about myself,' he added. 'I'm a player who enjoys playing for the team. 'And I want to help my teammates as much as possible and give everything I've got. 'I'm very happy to be here and can't wait to get started.' Advertisement Furthermore, Sucic believes this move will help him grow as a player. 'I think I'll be able to learn a lot. This club has very experienced players – top-level ones – who have played in the Champions League for years, and who've featured in World Cups, European Championships, Copa América… 'All of that proves how much experience they have, and I believe they can really help me. 'Personally, I think I can improve tactically, defensively, and offensively. 'Nobody is ever perfect, and I believe you have to try to grow every day – that's what I'll work hard to do. 'I don't really know how to introduce myself. As I said earlier, I'll try to do my best and help the team. Advertisement 'I'll give everything I have on the pitch, I'll give everything for this club. That's definitely what fans can expect from me.' Finally, he admitted he spoke with ex-Inter stars Marcelo Brozovic and Ivan Perisic. 'Definitely. I spoke with them before coming here. 'They confirmed how big this club is, how prestigious it is, and they told me a lot of positive things. 'It made the decision really easy for me. They all wished me the best of luck in this new adventure.'

Report – Parma Coach Set For Contract Extension At Tardini Amid Inter Milan Links
Cristian Chivu is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract with Parma despite recent speculation linking him with Inter Milan. Per Parma Today via FCInterNews, the Crusaders will soon hand the 44-year-old tactician a new contract. Advertisement The Romanian coach joined Parma in February and helped them secure Serie A survival in 2024/25. Despite penning a deal until 2026, the Emilia-Romagna outfit wants to extend his contract as quickly as possible. Indeed, negotiations have reached 'advanced stages,' with Cristian Chivu ready to put ink on paper. Cristian Chivu Set to Sign New Parma Contract Amid Inter Milan Links Inter Milan's Romenian defender Cristian Chivu addresses a press conference in Cluj Napoca on the eve ot the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 football match CFR 1907 Cluj vs Inter Milan in Cluj, northern Romania on February 20, 2013. AFP PHOTO / MIRCEA ROSCA (Photo by MIRCEA ROSCA / AFP) (Photo by MIRCEA ROSCA/AFP via Getty Images) Chivu's name has been on Beppe Marotta's shortlist as Inter search for a quality replacement for Simone Inzaghi. However, he has never been the club's first choice. Indeed, before rejecting a move to San Siro, Cesc Fabregas had been Marotta's number-one priority. With that hypothesis now off the table and Chivu set to extend his deal at Stadio Ennio Tardini, options are dwindling. Genoa's Patrick Vieira is now the most realistic candidate to fill the void.

Former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's Maryland mansion to hit market
Former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's 6,000-plus-square-foot home in Owings Mills is set to hit the market on Friday, with an asking price of $3.2 million. The house, a brick and stone colonial, features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as an open floor plan, large windows, an exercise room and a three-car garage. The exterior includes a grilling area, an outdoor pool with multiple seating areas and a converted patio with an outdoor fireplace. The property HOA fees are $1,874 per year and real estate taxes of $18,152 per year, the listing said. The property was purchased for $1.8 million by a limited liability corporation in 2019. The resident agent of the corporation is listed as David Miller, founder and principal of Owings Mills-based Terrain Title & Escrow Company. Miller declined to provide information regarding the corporation and its connection to Tucker. The Baltimore Sun linked Tucker to the address through property records it reviewed, as well as cross-referencing images from the property listing with his Instagram posts of his home. The listing agent, Jeremy Batoff of The Batoff Group, did not respond to requests for comment by The Sun by publication. The longtime Ravens kicker was released from his contract in May after more than a dozen Baltimore-area massage therapists accused him of sexual misconduct. The NFL's internal investigation is ongoing and could lead to a possible suspension. Tucker has denied all allegations and has not been charged criminally. He also has not faced civil litigation.
