Bologna have swooped for Olympique Marseille outcast Jonathan Rowe and agreed personal terms, claim Sky Sport Italia, but the fee will be €20m.

The 22-year-old was officially put on the transfer market today along with teammate Adrien Rabiot after they had an altercation in the wake of a Ligue 1 defeat at the weekend.

According to RMC Sport, Marseille are expecting €15m for the sale of Rabiot and €20m for Rowe, although as the England Under-21 international is under contract until June 2029, there could be a loan with obligation to buy.

Rowe targeted by several Serie A teams

Numerous Serie A clubs are interested in Rowe, including Roma and Atalanta, but Sky Sport Italia insist Bologna have dived in to agree personal terms already.

They now need to work out a deal with Olympique Marseille too and the negotiations are intensifying quickly.

He can play on the left or right of a trident attack, as well as in the deeper trequartista role, so would be a valuable addition to Vincenzo Italiano’s team.

Marseille bought him from Norwich for €16.5m following the initial loan.
