Cher Ndour career and debut so far

Ndour, who was raised in the northern Italian province of Lombardy, started out on the youth team for the Serie B team at the age of eight.

By the age of 11, Atalanta had taken him up, and in Bergamo he developed further.

He was distinctive on the pitch thanks to his rapid development. He was 6 feet 2 inches tall at the age of 16.

He wasn’t just skin and bone though. Because of his strength and impeccable skill, bigger foreign clubs expressed interest in him.

Barcelona and Benfica formed a circle together. For his future adventure, he chose the Primeira Liga team.

Ndour made his Benfica B debut at the young age of 16 and 269 years.

Joao Felix’s previous record for being the club’s youngest representative at that level was broken with his appearance.

He had the chance to properly establish himself in the team that participates in Portugal’s second division thanks to his professional debut.

Since then, the playmaker, who can also play farther forward, has made 56 appearances for Benfica’s B squad and has assisted on five goals.

In a 5-1 victory over Vitoria SC in March, Ndour made his senior club debut.

He has international caps for Italy’s U15, U16, U18, and U20 teams.

Despite rumours that he is reluctant to return to his own country just yet, they have high expectations for the potential. This puts an end to any chance of a Juventus bromance with Paul Pogba, to whom he is the clear heir.

Ndour was born in Italy to a Senegalese father and Italian mother and is a youth international for Italy, having represented the Italy U15s and Italy U16s. Mamadou Ndour dit Pape is the father of Cher Ndour who is the winner of the 2022 edition of the Youth Champions League (Youth League) with Benfica Lisbon.

Manchester City are reportedly set to rival Manchester United in the battle to sign Italian wonderkid Cher Ndour from Benfica whose contract expires in June 2023.
