Bologna is reportedly targeting Souffian El Karouani, a left-back who has impressed this season with Utrecht by making 34 appearances, scoring two goals, and providing eight assists. This move is considered necessary due to the likely departure of Lykogiannis, whose contract is nearing its end and who is reportedly being pursued by Greek clubs Olympiacos and AEK Athens. Bologna's coach, Vincenzo Italiano, is said to be aiming for a longer and more quality squad to compete in four competitions next season. El Karouani's performances have apparently also caught the attention of other clubs, including Feyenoord and Como. Utrecht is hoping to secure a minimum of 10 million euros from his transfer.
