With Igor Tudor increasingly likely to remain on the Juventus bench, he is starting to make requests for players, starting with Bologna winger Dan Ndoye.

As we reported over the last few days , the lack of valid alternatives after Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini fell through is pushing Juve to reconsider Tudor’s status.

He did after all steer them to Champions League qualification and it would cost them to terminate his contract before July 30.

Ndoye suited to Tudor tactics

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his next step is to request a team built around his ideas, having taken over from sacked Thiago Motta in March.

The first pick is Bologna winger Ndoye, who contributed nine goals and six assists in 41 competitive games this season, culminating in the Coppa Italia victory.

It will not be easy, as the 24-year-old Switzerland international has already attracted interest from Napoli, Inter and Manchester United.

Calciomercato.com cite the asking price for Ndoye at €40m, which would represent a big profit on a player Bologna signed for just €9m two years ago from FC Basel.
