Bowie wanted by Sassuolo, Verona double €6m fee in six months from Hibs

Scotland international Kieron Bowie is reportedly on the radar of Sassuolo, but Verona want €12m, double the figure they paid to get him from Hibernian.

The 23-year-old striker only arrived at the Stadio Bentegodi in January for a fee of €6m.

He contributed four goals and one assist in 14 appearances for the club, but the situation was already dire, and it was not enough to prevent their relegation to Serie B.

Bowie could stay in Serie A

Now there are reports Bowie could remain in the Italian top flight after all with a potential transfer to Sassuolo.

Tuttomercatoweb and the Daily Record insist that the asking price from Verona would be €12m, double the figure they paid to Hibs just six months ago.

Sassuolo already have a Scottish player in the squad, and he too came to them via Verona, as Josh Doig made that step in 2024.

Although not part of the squad going to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, Bowie does have two senior caps for his country.
