Yesterday we covered reports from Italy that Bologna were interested in Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci.
TMW have reported Bologna manager Roberto Donadoni is looking to sign a defender in the next window, and they say along with Bellusci, Barba is an option. The 23-year-old could leave Empoli this summer after the Tuscan side were relegated to Serie B.
Bellusci also has the dilemma of playing Serie B football with Empoli next season. Empoli have an option to make his move from Leeds United permanent for €2m, but they will need to convince the player to drop down to the second tier.
The 27-year-old is at a stage of his career where he will want to be playing in Serie A, and the Leeds United outcast could be tempted with a transfer to Bologna.
For Leeds United and Bellusci it would be disappointing if Bologna interest evaporated and the Tuscan club moved on to other targets.
