Bologna winger Dan Ndoye admitted he’s working to play in a ‘world’s top club’ and set himself ‘no limits’ after recently shining during his side’s Champions League fixture against Liverpool, which ended with a 2-0 defeat.

The 24-year-old was scouted by Bologna’s technical director Giovanni Sartori and joined the Rossoblu from Basel in the summer of 2023.

Despite only scoring one goal from his 32 Serie A appearances last season, his consistent displays attracted interest from top clubs, as both Manchester United and Liverpool approached Bologna last summer over a potential move, with the latter possibly keen on signing the Switzerland international as Mohamed Salah’s future replacement.

Bologna’s Ndoye aims to play for world’s top club: ‘I have the quality to do it’

“I constantly work to play in my position for a world’s top club and I’m aware that I have the quality to do it,” Ndoye told Sky Sport while on international duties with Switzerland, as reported by TMW.

“When I was a kid they told me I couldn’t become a professional, but I never listened to them and now I’m here.

“That’s why I set myself no limits. I went through highs and lows during my career and this made me stronger from every point of view.

“It is no coincidence that today I’m in a club who play the Champions League. The path is right, but there’s still much to do.”

Ndoye is a key player to new coach Vincenzo Italiano at Bologna, as he played six Serie A games this season, only missing his side’s match against Empoli due to injury.

The winger explained how his stint in Italy has changed his game, forcing him to ‘evolve’: “No game is easy [in Serie A],” he said.

“You often play against teams that sit deep, as they’re used to face top players such as Leão and Osimhen.

“It’s a constant teaching for me. I had to adapt and evolve, changing my dribbling to impose myself [on Italian football]”.
