Bologna signed the 18-year-old from San Mario Calcio just last summer, but are aware that they might be rendered powerless if the youngster decides to answer Chelsea’s call to move to England this month or next summer.
Despite his tender years, the defensive midfielder has been a regular starter for Bologna this season and has a contract until 2020 with the club.
