Bologna football pre‑season and transfer activity

Overview

In early July, Bologna hosted a sports gathering that combined football transfer talks with a volleyball market event, signalling the club’s focus on upcoming player movements. By early August, the Serie A side had moved into the pre‑season phase, arranging a closed‑door friendly against Pisa and scouting several targets, including Fiorentina striker Roberto Piccoli and forward Thijs Dallinga. The club also confirmed the arrival of Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk, who featured in the Pisa test, while Argentine winger Benjamin Domínguez attracted interest from clubs abroad.

On August 7, Bologna faced Pisa in an unconventional 150-minute friendly match consisting of two 75-minute halves. Pisa won the encounter 4-1, with goals from Canestrelli, Vural, and a brace from Marras. Thijs Dallinga scored Bologna's only goal via a penalty. While the heavy defeat raised concerns for manager Domenico Tedesco regarding defensive cohesion, the match served as a platform to evaluate player conditioning and new signings like Dovbyk ahead of the official league season.
