Sassuolo and Bologna in talks for £10m-rated Kieron Bowie
Sassuolo have reportedly joined Bologna in pursuing Kieron Bowie, the 23-year-old Scotland striker currently at Hellas Verona. According to the Daily Record, both Serie A clubs are in discussions with the relegated Verona over a summer move for the £10m-rated forward.
Bowie only moved to Italy in January, but couldn't prevent Verona from dropping out of Serie A. Despite the team's struggles, his potential has alerted fellow Italian sides, with Sassuolo now joining Bologna in the race.
Bowie's Serie A spell and emerging interest
The young Scot arrived at Verona with a growing reputation but found himself in a losing battle against relegation. Still, his performances have not gone unnoticed, and a quick return to the top flight could be on the cards. Verona, preparing for life in Serie B, appear willing to listen to offers, with a valuation around the £10m mark touted.
"Sassuolo have joined Bologna in holding talks with relegated Hellas Verona about 23-year-old £10m-rated Scotland striker Kieron Bowie," the Daily Record stated.
Other transfer gossip: Celtic, Moore and more
The Bowie news comes amid a flurry of transfer chatter involving Scottish clubs and beyond. Celtic are reportedly monitoring Tobias Lauritsen, a 28-year-old Norwegian striker who has left Sparta Rotterdam, with Leicester City and Sampdoria also keen. Meanwhile, former Rangers loanee Mikey Moore is attracting interest from Borussia Dortmund, Cologne and PSV Eindhoven, with a loan move from Tottenham Hotspur a possibility for the 18-year-old winger.
Celtic are also planning contract talks with right-back Anthony Ralston, and looking to seal a deal for Qarabag striker Camilo Duran.
