News Summary:
Bologna FC 1909 is currently in a crucial phase for its new stadium project and a bid to host Euro 2032 matches, with the club and BolognaFiere required to submit project documentation, including a credible financing plan for the roughly €300 million investment, to the FIGC by September 30, 2026.

Earlier, on August 13, Bologna acquired Roberto Piccoli from Fiorentina on a paid loan, including an €18 million option to buy that becomes an obligation if Bologna avoids relegation in the next matchday, with Fiorentina retaining a 10% sell-on clause. Previously, on July 30, Santiago Castro departed Bologna to join Roma in a deal valued at €35 million plus bonuses, and Bologna secured a 10% sell-on clause for any future resale. The club also appointed Domenico Tedesco as its new head coach on June 9, 2026, signing the German-Italian tactician to a deal running until June 30, 2028, with an option for an additional year, with his tenure officially beginning on July 1.
