"Milan Sports" reported that Bologna is pursuing Dzeko and listed Ziyech as the second-choice target.
Although the transfer negotiations on Dzeko have not reached the final decision stage, Bologna's pursuit of the 39-year-old Bosnia striker is becoming clearer. Ten days have passed since the first contact between the two parties. The next few hours will be the key to whether the transaction can be reached, and new progress may be made as soon as today.
Although the two sides have maintained close communication, Bologna has not yet arranged a formal meeting because many details are still to be finalized. First of all, the contract period is the contract period, is it a one-year contract or a two-year contract? Do bonus terms include? The Bologna sports director has shown his trump card: 1+1 contract, with a basic annual salary of 1.5 million euros plus bonus. Fierce competition among teams such as Fiorentina may push up costs, and if the contract years are extended or the bonus is increased, the total expenditure may climb to 6 million euros. But Bologna has a clear goal for Dzeko, and coach Idalino needs this striker to lead the growth of young players such as Castro with his experience and talent.
In addition to Dzeko, Ziyech also came into sight. The 32-year-old midfielder just terminated his contract with Qatar Duhele, and his championship resumes of Ajax, Chelsea and Galatasaray made the management excited. If Dzeko's trading is blocked, this technical midfielder may become a B plan.
These two signings reflect Bologna's pragmatic strategy. Although he is old, Dzeko and Ziyech's competitive state is enough to allow the club to avoid spending 20-25 million euros to replace Darlinga.
Chairman Saputo is waiting for the team to clarify the direction and may target key targets in the next week to launch a general offensive. Although Ziyech has never competed in Serie A, his rich experience has dispelled the club's doubts. No matter who is chosen in the end, Idalino will gain more abundant rotation chips in the league and the UEFA Cup.
