Heggem targeted by Bologna with 6.5m offer to West Bromwich Albion | OneFootball

Bologna have presented a formal offer worth €6.5m to sign West Bromwich Albion central defender Torbjorn Heggem, claim The Athletic, with two players on the way out.

It is reported the bid is an official one, making this a significant push to sign the 26-year-old.

The approach for the Norway international comes as Bologna are ready to part company with two defenders, as Jhon Lucumi is wanted by Sunderland, while Sky Sport Italia claim Martin Erlic is on the verge of a move to Midtjylland for €4m.

Heggem was one of the best performers for West Bromwich Albion in the Championship last season, making 45 appearances where he also managed to contribute one goal and two assists.

Any transfer would be a huge profit, considering he was signed from Brommapojkarna for just €600,000 in the summer of 2024.

He has seven senior caps for Norway and brings the kind of physicality that Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano is looking for.
