Bologna is considering loaning 18-year-old Italian goalkeeper Massimo Pessina to a Serie B club on the condition that he is the starting goalkeeper. The club will only agree to a dry loan if Pessina is guaranteed a starting role. Any requests from clubs unable to guarantee him a starting position will be rejected. The new coach, Domenico Tedesco, will first evaluate Massimo Pessina during the summer training camp, though it is considered very unlikely that he will stay on as a starter at Bologna for the upcoming season. The primary possibilities are a starting role at Bologna, which is considered very improbable, or a loan to a Serie B club. Pessina's contract with Bologna is valid until 2029, and he has earned 8 caps for the Italy U19 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.50m.
