Fulham have emerged as a new contender to sign Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The 26-year-old can operate across the attacking line but was mainly used on the right-wing last season, where he scored 11 goals and registered four assists from 34 games. His displays seem to have attracted interest from Marco Silva’s side.
It’s claimed the Premier League side have already made contact with the Italian club for the forward.
Di Marzio adds Fulham could table an offer in the ‘next few hours’ to secure Orsolini’s services. He doesn’t specify Bologna’s demands or the fee the London club could propose for the Italy international.
The attacker’s contract expires in 2024 and the current window would be Bologna’s last big chance to earn a fee from his sale.
Orsolini could leave in the next few weeks, which is why Bologna have already identified SC Freiburg’s Roland Sallai as a candidate to replace him. Di Marzio states they will bet heavily on Sallai if the Italian were to be sold.
More developments could be expected if and when Fulham present an offer for Orsolini.
