Tuttomercato reports that Bologna is interested in Mattia Liberali, for whom at least €6 million is required, corresponding to a release clause to be paid in a single installment. Alternatively, Catanzaro is willing to negotiate on the basis of €8 million with deferred payment.

According to Nicolo Schira, Bologna are interested in signing Mattia Liberali. A €6M clause would allow Mattia Liberali to leave Catanzaro.

Tuttomercato reports that several Serie A clubs are interested in Mattia Liberali and that there have been discussions with Bologna in recent days.

Following a season with Catanzaro in which the 19-year-old Italian made 24 Serie B appearances, scored 3 goals, and provided 4 assists, Mattia Liberali is the subject of interest from several Serie A clubs considering a transfer in the upcoming weeks. The young attacking midfielder has a release clause of 6 million euros, according to Sky. His former club, Milan, holds a 50% clause on a future sale. Bologna and Cagliari have made initial inquiries for Liberali, while Como and Sassuolo are reported to be observing the situation more closely, with Sassuolo potentially offering a reunion with his former coach Alberto Aquilani. Liberali joined Catanzaro in August 2025 and his contract is valid until June 2029.
