Watford have opened talks with Bologna over the potential transfer of Federico Ravaglia, who currently plays as a goalkeeper. Negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, Watford look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. Defensively, Watford are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.17 goals conceded per game. Someone like Federico Ravaglia could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Neither Bologna nor Watford have been linked with any additional targets at this stage.
