Marko Arnautovic continues being linked with the capital club.
The veteran striker was recently considered as one of the options Roma could pursue late in the transfer window in order to strengthen Jose Mourinho’s attack ahead of the upcoming season.
Arnautovic’s agent and brother, Daniel Arnautovic, spoke to Sky Sport about Bologna’s transfer stance and their unwillingness to consider an “offer from a top club” which might hint at Roma’s rumored proposal.
“We would like to be considered by Bologna, because our discussions earlier in the year had been clear. Last summer and last winter we had received two very important offers from the Premier League, and out of respect for Bologna we had done nothing about it,” Daniel Arnautovic told Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport.
“We received some offers at the beginning of June, and Bologna had promised us that in case of offers from top clubs, they would consider a transfer if Marko wanted to leave. Now this offer has arrived, and we would like the club to understand the importance of this opportunity for him: it would be the possibility to compete at the highest level, to win titles.”
