GdS: Discount or counterpart possible as Bologna are yet to decide on Milan loanee | OneFootball

Tommaso Pobega’s season-long loan at Bologna will come to an end in the summer and while there is an option to buy, the future remains uncertain for the AC Milan loanee.

The midfielder joined Bologna last summer on an initial loan deal, with an option to buy set at €12m. For Milan, we would be talking about a full capital gain that certainly would be useful for the summer budget, but whether the clause will be triggered is currently uncertain.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo below), Bologna are yet to make a decision on Pobega as they want to assess his performances in the coming months. It’s possible that a discount could be granted by Milan to push through the transfer, seeing as the midfielder has done well but perhaps not enough for €12m.

Another option, and this is hypothetical as Gazzetta stands, would be to use Pobega as a counterpart if Milan were to express interest in one of the Bologna stars (such as Riccardo Orsolini, John Lucumi and Benjamin Dominguez).

On a semi-related note, Davide Calabria has also impressed with Bologna and since he technically joined them on a six-month loan, he’s expected to sign a contract with the Rossoblu in the summer.
