Five Bologna Youngsters to Keep an Eye on

As evidenced by their current 10th-place standing, Bologna are traditionally a mid-table Serie A club. In their history they have won the Scudetto six times, although recently they have endured stints in Serie B, only being promoted back to Serie A in 2015 after a series of ownership changes and financial turmoil.

 In the last five seasons they have improved every year and currently sit a mere two points behind AC Milan. The future looks brighter than ever for La Rossoblù due to the new wave of young talent that is at their disposal. Their star man, Riccardo Orsolini, epitomises this new era of football in Bologna and is gaining attention from a plethora of top teams.

Juventus purchased the flamboyant right-winger from Ascoli for £7 million in January 2017. Later, he joined Bologna on loan, and after an impressive loan spell the deal became permanent, with the Turin giants receiving around £15 million for the transfer.

La Vecchia Signora are rumoured to have a buyback option on Orsolini, but this was put into dispute by Bologna sporting director Walter Sabatini who has insisted that the attacker is worth £70 million in today’s market.
