Bologna agree $5.1M for Luca Marianucci
The clubs have shaken hands with Napoli; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Terms done: Jesper Karlsson is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Pergolettese waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Bologna is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

No deal for Lorenzo Colombo at that price
Bologna offered $18.6M; Genoa said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Business is business: Jonathan Rowe goes
AS Roma paid $18.7M and Bologna took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Bologna make their move for Bjarki Bjarkason
$4.3M on the table at Südtirol. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

A $18.7M sale, and a town that did not want it
Jonathan Rowe has gone, the accounts have $18.7M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Business is business: Martin Vitík goes
Inter paid $5.1M and Bologna took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Bologna go back to the board over Bjarki Bjarkason
