Kaito Yasui is a medical away from Bologna

Mario Fontana steps up from the Bologna academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mario Fontana has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
