Bologna is monitoring Raffaele Russo, an Italian playmaker from Avellino. The player, who was born in 1999, can operate in various attacking roles except as a central striker and is performing particularly well as a second striker this season. He has scored 5 goals in 11 appearances, a total that already surpasses his goal count from the previous season. He is one of several players at the club attracting interest from Serie A teams, and Avellino is reportedly considering whether to sell key players in January or wait until the summer. According to Il Mattino, the club is currently more likely to choose the latter option to avoid weakening the squad and potentially increase the players' value. Russo joined Avellino in July 2022, and his contract is valid until June 2030. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €650,000.
