Dan Ndoye`s impending transfer to Nottingham Forest is poised to become one of Bologna`s most significant player sales in history. The Swiss international`s move, reportedly worth over €40 million, will place him alongside recent high-profile departures like Riccardo Calafiori and Joshua Zirkzee.
While exact figures vary, reports suggest the deal could reach up to €49 million including bonuses. At a minimum of €40 million, Ndoye`s transfer will rank among Bologna`s top three most expensive sales ever.
This continues a trend of lucrative Premier League moves for Bologna players. Last summer, Calafiori joined Arsenal for around €48 million, while Zirkzee moved to Manchester United for €42.5 million.
Other notable recent sales include Sam Beukema to Napoli for €30 million and Simone Verdi`s €24.5 million transfer to Napoli in 2018.
