Everton ramps up chase for Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe and AC Milan midfielder Warren Bondo

Everton have formally approached Serie A club Bologna about signing 23‑year‑old winger Jonathan Rowe, with the Italian side reportedly demanding a €45 million fee (about £38.5 million). Rowe scored three goals and provided two assists in 28 Serie A games last season. The club’s interest comes as it seeks to add a new wide player ahead of the new season.

The Toffees are also in the race for 22‑year‑old AC Milan midfielder Warren Bondo, who has indicated he is ready to leave. Bondo has made limited appearances for Milan, spending the previous season on loan at Cremonese, and still has three years left on his contract. Everton’s pursuit of Bondo faces competition from Bundesliga sides Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt.
