The cost for Juan Pablo Freytes is between 7 and 8 million. Bologna's first offer of 5 million was rejected, according to Brazilian sources. Before the match against Sassuolo, Sporting director Di Vaio stated that the deal was not yet closed as was being said. The dialogue between the clubs is ongoing and the negotiation is entering a crucial phase. The player has already given his approval. A couple of other Serie A clubs, including Cagliari, are reportedly interested in Freytes. He has previously played as a left-back.

Bologna are targeting Fluminense's central defender Juan Pablo Freytes. It is reported that the player has been on director Sartori's list for some time. The Italian club made an initial offer in recent days, but the Brazilian team rejected it. Bologna's proposal was 5 million euros, a sum which Fluminense did not consider satisfactory. Despite the rejection, discussions between the two clubs remain open.
