Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe remains a target for Serie A champions Atalanta, with the Italian club ready to raise their initial offer to €40m. This comes as Chelsea have completed the purchase of Rowe for €48m, including potential add-ons, through the sale of a defender to the London club. Atalanta's pursuit of Rowe intensified following their Conference League qualification, which eliminated other potential suitors due to Bologna's reluctance to sell another top player, following recent departures of Santiago Castro to Roma and Jhon Lucumi to Juventus.
Recent developments, including Atalanta's 1-0 aggregate win over Hapoel Tel-Aviv to secure Conference League football, have paved the way for negotiations between the Italian club and Chelsea. Should the transfer proceed, Rowe could earn around €40m in transfer fees, coupled with performance-related bonuses. Bologna are exploring Albert Gudmundsson, formerly of Fiorentina, as a potential replacement for Rowe, but are not in a hurry to complete the deal.
