Chelsea intensifies pursuit of Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe

Chelsea have opened fresh talks with the representatives of Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe, identifying the 23‑year‑old as a serious summer target. According to Italian outlet Il Resto del Carlino, the club has made recent contact but has not yet submitted a formal offer. Rowe, who is under contract with Bologna until 2029 and valued at around €40 million, is also being monitored by Aston Villa, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Bologna have signaled that they will not sell unless presented with an unrefusable proposal. The Blues are also scouting other wide‑area options such as Crysencio Summerville, Yan Diomande and Francisco Trincão. Reports from Sports View and other European media echo that Rowe has become a “key target” for Chelsea as they look to reshape their attacking options ahead of the new season. No bid has been confirmed, and the negotiations remain in an exploratory phase.
