Napoli and Torino are on the verge of agreeing terms to send Cyril Ngonge to Espanyol, on loan with option to buy for €15m.
The attacking winger was first purchased by Napoli from Hellas Verona for €20m in January 2024, but failed to live up to those expectations.
He was sent on loan to Torino over the summer at a cost of €1m, with an option to make it permanent for a further €17m.
However, the Belgian struggled there too, managing only one goal and two assists in 23 games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the decision has now been made to send him outside of Italy to Espanyol.
The agreement is to interrupt the Torino loan and begin a new one with the Spanish side, reducing the option to buy from €17m to just €15m.
Ngonge has one senior cap for Belgium and is 25 years of age, having come up through the youth academies of Anderlecht and Club Brugge.
