Roberto Piccoli Nears Bologna Move

Bologna is close to finalizing the deal for Italian striker Roberto Piccoli, who is set to join from Fiorentina during the current summer transfer window, following positive developments in negotiations between the two clubs in recent hours.

According to the latest Italian reports, an agreement is in place for Pecoli to move to Bologna on loan with an option to buy, in a deal that could total around €18 million, with a preliminary agreement between the player and the club for a contract extending until 2031.

Bologna has entered the race to sign Piccoli in recent days, initiating direct talks with Fiorentina, as the striker has become one of their main targets to bolster the front line, especially after Santiago Castro's departure to Roma.

Reports suggest that negotiations between the parties have made substantial progress, as Bologna initially considered signing the player permanently before opting for a loan with a purchase option to facilitate the deal.

Final details are expected to be completed in the coming hours, with the possibility of Pecorini's transfer to Bologna being finalized today. The Italian forward is set to return to the club he previously represented, embarking on a new journey in search of a bigger role in the upcoming season.
