Bologna, Atalanta and Southampton battle for Prass | OneFootball

Bologna, Atalanta and Southampton are ready to duel on the transfer market for Sturm Graz left-sided wingback Alexander Prass, who impressed at EURO 2024 for Austria.

He only turned 23 in May and has nine senior caps for his country, featuring in all four of his nation’s games at the European Championships this summer.

Prass even provided two assists in the victories over Poland and the Netherlands.

Bologna had been the first to show concrete interest in bringing him to Serie A this season.

Tuttomercatoweb now claim that Atalanta have also set their sights on the Austria international, while Southampton are also preparing a potential bid of their own.

Atalanta see him as the ideal heir to Hans Hateboer, who is on the verge of a €3m transfer to Stade Rennais.

With a contract that runs to June 2026, the asking price is believed to be in the region of €10-12m including performance-related bonuses.

A product of the youth academies at LASK and RB Salzburg, he joined Sturm Graz as a free agent in 2021.
