Lens and Rennes showed interest in acquiring Thijs Dallinga, with both clubs making offers around 20 million euros for his transfer, which Bologna declined. The 25-year-old Dutch forward attracted attention from these French clubs, especially Rennes, as they sought a replacement for Arnaud Kalimuendo, who is poised to join Nottingham Forest for 30 million euros. Despite the interest, Bologna opted not to part with more key players following the sales of Sam Beukema and Dan Ndoye. Consequently, Dallinga will continue his tenure at Bologna under coach Italiano, eager to make an impact after netting 7 goals in 43 appearances last season. His contract with the Italian club runs until June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €12 million.
