Man Utd ‘make transfer approach for Euro 2024 star who has played for BOTH Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s other clubs’
MANCHESTER UNITED have made an approach to Bologna over Dan Ndoye, transfer reports say.
Ndoye has been one of Switzerland’s brightest sparks at Euro 2024 and even notched a goal against Germany.
According to Gianluca Dimarzio, the winger’s performance against the hosts was so impressive that immediately United took action.
It is claimed Old Trafford chiefs reached out to Bologna to discuss terms for a potential deal.
And new United boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows Ndoye well.
The forward – who scored only one league goal last season – had stints with Lausanne and Nice – both of which owned by the Ineos’ head honcho.
But United are joined by clubs in Italy who are monitoring Ndoye’s situation.
Inter Milan are among them as they fight to keep Denzel Dumfries this summer.
Ratcliffe’s links to Nice could also see him take legal action to help him sign Jean-Claire Todibo from the French side.
Uefa rules have blocked United’s pursuit of the Nice defender Todibo as Ineos also own the French outfit.
Ratcliffe has already been handed a favour from the governing body by allowing both clubs to compete in the Europa League next season.
However, the transfer between two clubs under the same ownership has strictly been blocked.
But now Ratcliffe has hired a Swiss lawyer to plead before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
The lawyer in question is a highly regarded expert in the field of international sports and football law.
