Overview
- Reports on Sunday say Chelsea are preparing a €38 million offer for 23-year-old Jonathan Rowe at Bologna, though no formal move has been announced.
- CaughtOffside and Yahoo, citing Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, report that Chelsea scouts watched Rowe in April ahead of a possible approach.
- Rowe joined Bologna from Marseille last summer and has logged about 41 games with seven goals and four assists in his debut Serie A season.
- Bologna do not want to sell immediately, but the reported fee could persuade them to consider talks, according to the Italian reports relayed in England.
- Coverage also notes Galatasaray interest and says Chelsea must raise funds and reshape the squad this summer, which could complicate any pursuit.
