Transfer targets6 Sep 2027
Andrea Belotti is a medical away from Bologna
The deal with Modena is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
Bologna close the window on a squad of their own making
14 in and 26 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.
Market6 Sep 2027
Nicolò Cambiaghi wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Bologna hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Bologna say no — this time
The offer from Bekescsaba for Tommaso Ebone was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Łukasz Skorupski in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bologna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad6 Sep 2027
The step up is real for Andrei Toroc
At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
Squad6 Sep 2027
Riccardo Orsolini falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Squad6 Sep 2027
A late step up for Gennaro Borrelli
At 27 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.
Match4 Sep 2027
Bologna get the job done against Napoli
A 2‑0 win over Napoli, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
