Tommaso Pobega, a 1999-born midfielder, transferred on loan with an option to buy from Milan to Bologna during the last summer transfer window, and today’s Corriere dello Sport newspaper reviewed what his professional future could hold.
Pobega Heading Towards Confirmation at Bologna?
Since February, in fact, the player from Trieste has played less, never starting a match and remaining on the bench against Verona and Napoli. Then, last Sunday, he seized his opportunity, playing a good match at the Gewiss Stadium against Atalanta: he was one of the most convincing players in the red-and-blue lineup. Pobega has confirmed himself as a reliable asset for Vincenzo Italiano, the coach who had already worked with him at Spezia years ago and who wanted him with him at Bologna this season. With 4 goals and 3 assists in 24 appearances so far, his season remains positive for the Vismara product.
Bologna aim for a discount from AC Milan...
In the final stretch of this season, where Bologna is competing for a spot in next season’s Champions League, the number 18 will fight for confirmation. But what is Bologna's intention regarding the player? According to CorSport, it seems they want to keep him in the squad.
However, not under the conditions agreed upon with Milan almost a year ago. Bologna can activate the option to purchase Pobega’s permanent transfer by paying 12 million euros to the Rossoneri. But Giovanni Sartori, Bologna's technical director, will ask the red and black club to lower the amount. Whether this attempt will succeed will be clear in the coming weeks, as relayed via PianetaMilan.it.
