Update

After a completed medical and final agreement on terms, Joao Mario has been unveiled as a new Bologna signing. The defender leaves Juventus to embark on a new chapter - with fans of his new club keen to see what he can do. Bologna identified him as a top target early in the window and are said to be delighted to finally get their man. Interest had been high throughout the window, with Crystal Palace previously linked. But Bologna acted decisively, beating the competition and finalising all formalities to make him the latest addition to their squad. Across the season 25/26, Bologna have let in 27 goals in 22 (1.23 per game), roughly in line with the Serie A average. Joao Mario would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Alongside this, Juventus are said to be exploring Mauro Icardi, Ivan Toney and Jeremie Boga with Bologna likewise connected to Jesper Karlsson. Want to see how the story develops?
