Bologna are making serious moves to strengthen their defense by targeting Alexsandro Ribeiro from Lille. Following the unsuccessful attempt to sign Mats Hummels, Bologna have shifted focus to the Brazilian center-back, who is highly regarded for his performances in Ligue 1.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the club has taken formal steps to initiate the transfer, signaling their intent to secure Alexsandro’s services. This pursuit is part of Bologna’s broader strategy to reinforce their defensive lineup under coach Vincenzo Italiano. The need for a solid defender has become more pressing following the departure of Riccardo Calafiori to the Premier League.
In addition to Alexsandro, Bologna is also interested in Logan Costa from Toulouse. The Italian club has made an offer of €13 million plus €2 million in bonuses for Costa, although Toulouse is holding out for €20 million.
Bologna’s active engagement in the transfer market highlights their commitment to building a competitive squad for the upcoming Serie A season. The club’s management is keen to finalize deals that will enhance their defensive capabilities and support their ambitions on the field.
