Where will Jonathan Rowe end up?

Bologna signed him for around £15 million and will look to make a profit on him. The 23-year-old has impressed in Italy and contributed to 13 goals last season.

Meanwhile, Chelsea has been tracking his development for a long time, and they could look to make a move if they manage to sell Alejandro Garnacho this summer. The Argentina attacker has been quite underwhelming since joining Chelsea from Manchester United, and they are looking to bring in an upgrade. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa have sanctioned the departure of Morgan Rogers and Leon Bailey is expected to leave the club as well. It is no surprise that both clubs are interested in signing the 23-year-old Bologna star.
