La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus coach Igor Tudor has identified Bologna star Dan Ndoye as a priority reinforcement for the 2025-26 campaign.
Juventus coach Tudor met with new General Manager Damien Comolli for the first time on Wednesday, and according to Gazzetta, the Croat identified Bologna’s Ndoye as a transfer priority for the Old Lady.

Ndoye has emerged as a primary transfer target for Napoli as well, according to Football Italia sources.
Tudor said after the last game of the season against Venezia that Juventus would need two or three signings to become genuine title contenders in the 2025-26 season.
The Bianconeri remain interested in Lille forward Jonathan David, who is available as a free agent since his contract expires at the end of the month.

Tudor is under contract with Juventus until 2026, so he’ll lead the team during the Club World Cup, which starts this month.
The Croat is expected to remain in charge also for the 2025-26 season, although Juventus still have an option to terminate the agreement by the end of June by paying just €1m.

“[Napoli] is a club that just won Serie A. And I’m guessing they don’t just want to win Serie A one year and say, ‘OK, we won, that’s it.’ Obviously, it’s a club that’s ambitious, that’s going to play in the Champions League.
“I think anywhere you go, there’s always pressure to perform every week, there is the pressure to keep your spot, pressure from the supporters, because obviously you have to win every game. There is always pressure anywhere you go.”
