Eguinaldo Transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk to Bologna
According to Tuttomercato, Bologna is evaluating Eguinaldo de Sousa Lemos as a potential addition to their squad. This consideration comes as they seek a replacement for Dan Ndoye, who has recently moved to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Despite this interest, the Bologna management reportedly harbors reservations about Eguinaldo due to his position and youthful age, making him not their primary choice to strengthen the attack. The club is aiming to sign a different type of player, preferably someone like Eguinaldo's teammate Kevin. Securing Kevin's transfer would necessitate an offer significantly exceeding 30 million euros to tempt him away from his current position at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Eguinaldo is considered a top choice to replace Dan Ndoye at Bologna. Contacts with his entourage have already started. The player is interested in the destination. Shakhtar values him at around 20 million euros. Bologna, benefiting from the funds received from Ndoye's sale, wants to finalize a loan deal worth 1 million euros with an obligation to buy, payable over 3-4 years.
Bologna is considering Eguinaldo, a young and relatively unknown Brazilian attacking midfielder from Shakhtar Donetsk, as a potential replacement for Dan Ndoye. Eguinaldo, born in 2004, played against Bologna in the Champions League as a starter, where he won a penalty that was saved by Skorupski. The club views him as a 'Sartori-style' acquisition, a young talent ready to make a significant impact. This move comes as Bologna anticipates potential changes in attack, with Ndoye attracting interest from top clubs, including a previous offer from Napoli.
