The Italy international had been into the final year of his contract at the Dall’Ara; his previous deal expiring on June 30, 2027.

Orsolini came through the ranks at Ascoli before joining Juventus in 2017. He never made a competitive appearance for the Old Lady and was instead sent out on loan deals to Atalanta in 2017-18 and Bologna in 2018-19.

The Rossoblu made his transfer permanent in 2019. During his time in Emilia-Romagna, Orsolini has made 309 competitive appearances and has provided 87 goals across all competitions. 273 of those outings and 75 of those goals have come in Serie A.
