Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that the 25-year-old is eager to play for the Granata under the manager who saw him score six goals in 21 Verona games in his debut Serie A season.

Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is also directly involved as Napoli are strongly interested in the Serbia international.

The Partenopei haven’t yet decided whether to pay his €20m clause and are aware that Milinkovic-Savic hasn’t yet received offers from foreign clubs.

Napoli will decide in the coming days, keeping an eye on the Alex Meret situation, as the Italian goalkeeper’s contract expires at the end of the month.

Ngonge joined Napoli in a €20m deal from Verona in the 2024 January transfer window.

The Belgium international has scored three goals in 35 appearances with the Partenopei.
