According to Tuttomercatoweb.

Background

Jonathan Rowe is an emerging English forward who is currently under contract with Bologna, a Serie A club. His development as a player has put him in the spotlight, and his potential makes him a sought-after player in the transfer market. Bologna's technical director Marco Di Vaio has emphasized his value, especially after a strong second half of the season.

Why this matters

Atalanta's interest in Jonathan Rowe underlines the dynamics of the Serie A transfer market, especially as Bologna look to retain their star player after previous outgoing transfers. Rowe is seen as crucial to Bologna's future, which increases his value in the transfer market. This could also affect other clubs looking for a midfielder, as Bologna are now asking a higher price.

Key points

  • Atalanta encounters obstacles for Rowe, Noa Lang stays.
  • Atalanta tries to sign Jonathan Rowe, but Bologna does not seem to want to let him go.
  • Atalanta, per rowe ci sono diversi ostacoli. Resiste il nome di Noa Lang come alternativa.

Atalanta has set its sights on English attacker Jonathan Rowe, who is under contract with Bologna. Despite an offer of more than 30 million euros from Bergamo, a transfer does not seem easy. Bologna sees a crucial player in Rowe, especially now that two important players, Santiago Castro and Lucumi, have already left this transfer summer.

Rowe's recent absence from the match selection caused speculation, but according to Italian sources it turned out to be based on a technical choice by the trainer, who started Cambiaghi instead. Bologna is now receiving more interest in Rowe, although remarkably these offers do not come from England; clubs such as Arsenal and Aston Villa have not reported so far. There may also be interest from Saudi Arabia. Rowe reportedly has a dream to one day play in the English league, but no concrete proposals have emerged so far.

Bologna have significantly increased Rowe's transfer value and require a fee of 45 million euros to even discuss a sale. An agreement must also be found with the player himself, which further complicates the process.

Technical director Marco Di Vaio emphasized that Rowe has proven his worth since the second half of the season and that the club wants to be careful in getting rid of key players just before the transfer market closes. “It is essential for us to maintain a competitive squad for the upcoming Serie A season,” said Di Vaio.

If Atalanta are unable to loose Rowe, Noa Lang, who was previously among the options, remains a real alternative to the attacking line of the Coppa Italia vice-champions. Lang is known for his attacking impulses and experience at Club Brugge and PSV, and is receiving interest from various partiesEuropean competitions. It remains to be seen whether Atalanta will make a final choice soon, or continue to bet on Rowe and only switch to Noa Lang later in the summer.

Until the transfer market closes, this situation will remain one of the transfer files to monitor closely, especially now that Bologna is holding on to its star player and Atalanta is urgently looking for reinforcement in the attack for the new Serie A season.

What's happening now

With the summer transfer window coming to an end, Bologna will have to decide whether to keep Rowe or enter negotiations. Atalanta may also explore other options, such as Noa Lang, if the deal for Rowe falls through. The situation remains tense, especially with the possibility of interest from Saudi Arabia, which could further influence transfer dynamics.
