According to Il Roma (26/06/23 as relayed by Calcio Napoli 1926 and Sport Witness), Tanguy Ndombele was ‘fed up’ with his lack of game time at Napoli last season, which is why he decided against a permanent move to the Serie A club.
The publication suggests that the departure of Luciano Spalletti and the arrival of Rudi Garcia as Napoli’s new head coach might have opened a new door for Ndombele but it was not to be.

It is alleged that Garcia ‘would not have minded’ working with the Spurs star, who previously played under him at Lyon but the Serie A club would now have to enter the market for a new midfielder.
Ndombele wants more regular game time next year
It is explained that ‘the conditions were not there’ for Napoli to sign Ndombele, with the €30m (£25.7m) purchase option deemed ‘too high’ by the Italian club.
The report also adds that the 26-year-old was ‘fed up with playing little’ at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, which is why he was not keen on making a permanent switch to Naples.
This report comes on the back of Alasdair Gold claiming in his column for Football.London last week that Ange Postecoglou will assess Ndombele closely in pre-season to see if the midfielder can play a part in his set-up at Spurs.
Spurs Web Opinion
I do wonder if Tottenham might have been open to reducing the €30m (£25.7m) price for Ndombele had the Frenchman shown an inclination to make a permanent move to Napoli.
I personally do not hold out too much hope that the former Lyon man could reignite his Spurs career under Postecoglou as the midfielder is seemingly not capable of the work that the Australian demands from his players out of possession.
