Bologna may seek a player from the free-agent market because Emil Holm suffered a muscle injury. One of the possible players being considered by the club is Matteo Darmian, a 36-year-old Italian right-back who is without a team after his contract with Inter ended. In a recent interview, Darmian stated that he still wants to play but the opportunity must be worthwhile, adding that he is convinced he is suitable for a good Serie A team. The defender has 46 caps and 2 goals for Italy. His current market value is €1.40m, according to Transfermarkt. Several other Italian clubs, including Torino, Parma, and Roma, have also been linked with him.
