Report – Bologna Evaluate Swap Deal With Fiorentina Involving Italy Midfielder Despite Inter Milan Buyback Clause | OneFootball

Bologna could offer Giovanni Fabbian to Fiorentina as part of a swap deal to take Riccardo Sottil to Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Vincenzo Italiano’s men are plotting a complicated exchange to sign the Italian winger.

Giovanni Fabbian has been in and out of Italiano’s starting line-up.

Furthermore, Inter can still activate a €12 million buyback clause to bring the 22-year-old back to the San Siro.

However, Inter’s indecisiveness may return to haunt them, with Bologna drawing plans of their own.

Italiano appreciates Sottil, who had a rough six-month loan at AC Milan in the second half of last season.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina are open to letting their winger go this summer.

Yet, Sottil won’t go cheap, hence Bologna’s plan to include Fabbian as a counterpart to avoid splashing the cash.

Bologna’s interest in the Italian forward probably stems from the uncertainty surrounding the future of Riccardo Orsolini.

Formerly linked with Inter, Orsolini could depart Emilia-Romagna in the coming months, with Milan keen to acquire his services.
