Jonathan Rowe has earned attention after registering eight goals and five assists for Bologna across all competitions, with his displays attracting interest from clubs in England. Aston Villa were seen as a suitor, according to reports, as they were rumoured to view Rowe as a potential replacement for Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea.

The Toffees are not willing to give up and are ready to raise their offer to €35 million to gauge the possibility of a sale. According to Quotidiano Sportivo, Bologna would be willing to sit down and discuss a deal with Everton should they make an offer in the region of €35 million.

Bologna are unlikely to accept a bid worth €35 million, per Quotidiano Sportivo, which reports the club values Rowe at €55-60 million, which is significantly above Everton’s €35 million offer. The Toffees might view the 23-year-old winger as a possible replacement for Iliman Ndiaye, who remains linked with a move to Al-Hilal, according to credible reports.

Bologna to take up a firm stance

Bologna are reportedly not under financial pressure to sell their main players, having already offloaded Santiago Castro in this window. They are also considering selling Jhon Lucumi. Should Bologna stick to their stance that Rowe is not for sale, there would be little Everton could do about it.
