Jonathan Rowe has been active for Bologna in 2026 and is now attracting interest Aston Villa.
The Englishman scored a spectacular overhead kick against Napoli at the weekend. The game was tied 2-2 in stoppage time but the winger’s strike gave the Rossoblu a big win.
Now, he has three Serie A goals in 2026. In the Europa League, he found the net four times and provided two assists, scoring a well-executed curler against Aston Villa.
This has increased English interest in the former Norwich City star. sports witness Covered how Premier League scouts have kept a close eye on him in recent weeks.
His performances at Villa Park also did not go unnoticed.
Rowe is increasingly being discussed
gazzetta dello sport Here’s a detailed report on the winger today, with the background to his heroics in Naples. It is worth noting how he has come to be called ‘Roveldinho’ in Bologna, an indication of the growing excitement around him.
Clubs are now knocking on the door for him. The newspaper cited English sources to talk about Chelsea’s interest, as the English media are talking about a €38m offer from the Blues.
The matter does not end here because now Aston Villa are also interested in it. These are seen as ‘real threats’ for the Rossoblu, who find themselves in eighth place in Serie A. It is likely that they will not play in Europe next season, which could lead to a summer sale of Rowe.
If English clubs make an offer for him, Bologna won’t stand much of a chance. They may try to convince him to stay for another season but it may not work in the absence of European football.
Our view: Bologna looks to capitalize
At the start of the season, Jonathan Rowe was struggling to settle into life in Italy, and also suffered fitness problems.
Bologna paid around €20m to sign him last year. The low price was mainly due to a fight with Adrien Rabiot in Marseille. Now, the reports around him are playing a big role in increasing his valuation by a huge amount taking advantage of the recent form.
Bologna have already sold Dan Ndoye, Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori to England. Sunderland-bound Jhon Lucumi is still being pushed for a move to Italy, and Bologna clearly fancy a Premier League sale.
This approach should provide some encouragement for Aston Villa. The Rossoblu have a buy-sell model and Unai Emery’s team could take advantage of this and bring Rowe back to England.
