Bologna is targeting Hugo Vetlesen, a 26-year-old Norwegian central midfielder from Club Brugge. The Italian club's technical director, Giovanni Sartori, was sent to observe a match between Club Brugge and Union. It is reported that the club is interested in players from both teams and considers Vetlesen and Union's Kevin Rodriguez to be targets they can acquire, having found other potential players to be too expensive. Both Vetlesen and Rodriguez are entering the final year of their contracts, which is expected to lower their price. Vetlesen, who joined Club Brugge in July 2023, was not consistently a starter in previous years but performed well in the play-offs. He has 6 caps and 1 goal for Norway, and his current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €3.00m.
