Atalanta reaches agreement to sign Jonathan Rowe from Bologa

Overview

Atalanta has reached an agreement with Bologna to sign English winger Jonathan Rowe. The finalized deal is structured as a loan with an obligation to purchase for €35 million, supplemented by €5 million in bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause.

This agreement follows a period of negotiation where Bologna remained hesitant to sell without securing a successor. To replace Rowe, Bologna is working to secure Belgian winger Samuel Mbangula from Werder Bremen on a loan deal with an option to buy. This move aligns with the club's previous interest in Mbangula and Othmane Maamma as potential replacements for the winger, who had been reportedly pushing for the move to Atalanta.

Following the close of the transfer window, a dispute emerged regarding the circumstances of the move. Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci claimed the decision to sell was driven by Rowe’s “behavioral issues and a lack of respect toward teammates and staff during pre-season training.”

During his presentation at Atalanta, Rowe declined to engage in a direct confrontation with the CEO, stating, “I don't want to comment on the words of the Bologna CEO; those who know me know the truth.” While Rowe expressed gratitude to Bologna and maintained that he had good relationships with his former teammates, the incident highlighted a rift between the player and Bologna management regarding internal discipline.
