Report: Pobega one of four midfielders on Bologna’s shortlist – the situation

Tommaso Pobega has been linked with a move ever since the start of the summer and a few clubs have expressed an interest, including Bologna. According to a report, the AC Milan man is one of four midfielders on their shortlist. 

Pobega missed a good chunk of last season due to an injury he sustained in December of last year, forced to sit on the sidelines for 27 games. He has made a few appearances this pre-season but a move appears to be on the cards for him.

According to Il Resto del Carlino, as cited by Radio Rossonera, Bologna have four midfielders on their shortlist:  Pobega, Marco Brescianini (Frosinone), Cesare Casadei (Chelsea) and Giulio Maggiore (Salernitana). They only intend to sign one of these, it should be noted.

At the age of 25, the feeling is that Pobega needs consistent playing time if he wants his career to go anywhere but at Milan, he will truly struggle with this. On an interesting note, should Bologna move for Brescianini instead, then the Rossoneri will be watching on closely as they have a 50% resale clause.

As for Pobega’s price tag, it’s believed that Milan could ask for around €15m to part ways with the Primavera product.
