It is reported that Chelsea is preparing a summer move for Jonathan Rowe, 22, who has gained interest from several top clubs after his market value nearly doubled since joining Bologna last summer for approximately €19.5 million. Other Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa and Manchester United, along with Galatasaray, are also said to be interested in the English winger, who has 10 caps and 3 goals for England U21. His contract with the Italian club runs until June 2029.

The club has denied recent rumors that a €34 million offer was submitted to Casteldebole. However, offers in the region of €40 million could make it a concrete possibility that Bologna will lose the player. In April 2026, reports consistently stated that Bologna's asking price for the player is €45 million.
