CorSport: Bologna willing to buy midfielder from Milan on one condition – the situation | OneFootball

Bologna are interested in turning Tommaso Pobega’s loan into a permanent stay, but only on one condition.

As Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) recall this morning, Pobega moved on loan with an option to buy from Milan to Bologna in the last summer transfer window. As we approach the end of 2024-25 however, his future remains a bit of a mystery.

Since February, the Milan academy product has not started and remaining on the bench against Verona and Napoli as an unused substitute. Then, last Sunday, he seized his chance by playing a good match at the Gewiss Stadium against Atalanta, despite the 2-0 loss.

Pobega has shown himself to be a reliable player for Vincenzo Italiano, a coach who had already had him under his command at Spezia years ago and who wanted him back at Bologna this season. With four goals and three assists in 24 games overall so far, he has had a positive impact.

Giovanni Sartori however plans to ask the Rossoneri management for a discount on the €12m option to buy agreed a few months ago. Given the Rossoblu are right in the race for the Champions League and the riches that brings, the season finale could be a big factor.

CorSport add that Bologna want keep him in the squad but not at the current cost, hence the plan to negotiation. Whether the attempt will be successful will be seen in the coming weeks, as well as if other players are mentioned like the Milan-linked Riccardo Orsolini.
