Bologna are actively seeking a new centre-forward to replace Santiago Castro, who was sold to Roma for a reported €35m fee. Reports suggest the club's interest lies with Fiorentina's 25-year-old Roberto Piccoli. Initial talks between Bologna and Fiorentina have commenced, though formal negotiations are still in their infancy. Should Bologna secure the signing, it is expected to occur this summer.
Fiorentina had also entertained an approach from Genoa regarding Piccoli's availability, but the conversation has not progressed any further since. The Fiorentina forward joined the club from Cagliari in the previous summer transfer window for a fee of €25m. During his time at Fiorentina, Piccoli contributed four goals in 32 Serie A matches and added three from 10 Conference League games in the 2025-26 season.
