Bologna are currently on the hunt for anew attacking options after selling Joshua Zirkzee to Manchester United earlier this summer.
However, the club are now looking to United with one of their forwards in mind to fill the gap up top.
The Italian club finished fifth last season in Serie A, granting them access to next season’s Champions League, so need to strengthen their squad to be ready.
Now, reports from Sam C on X have announced there is “concrete interest” in one of United’s attacking stars, having featured in yesterday’s Community Shield match.
Bologna look to Facundo Pellistri
Sam C has reported that the Serie A side are looking into Facundo Pellistri, hoping to sign him by the end of the summer.
Pellistri has returned to United after his post Copa America vacation, causing him to miss out on the Red Devil’s pre-season tour of the USA. However now back with the club, the right-winger came on in the second half of United’s Community shield face off with Manchester City.
The Uruguayan was one of the few who didn’t take a penalty in the 8 round penalty shoot out which saw City take the victory.
After a loan spell at Granada, Pellistri has had a great showing at the Copa America which saw Uruguay get to the Semi-Finals, unfortunately knocked out by Colombia. However, the Uruguayan side beat Canada 3-2 to take third place.
Bologna are looking to the 22-year-old also due to the spate of injuries they’ve been experiencing with Jesper Karlsson, Lewis Ferguson and Emil Holm all injured.
It’s unknown at this time if contact has been made with the player or United, however we’re expecting to hear more over the coming days.
