Aberdeen fans’ hopes of retaining star striker Bojan Miovski may have received a boost with Bologna reportedly pursuing another signing target.
Italian Serie A club Bologna have had Miovski on their radar with the view to a potential summer transfer window swoop.
Clubs in England, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands are also tracking the striker, who is contracted to Aberdeen until summer 2026.
Miovski was omitted from the match-day squad by boss Jimmy Thelin for the 3-0 win over Queen of the South in the Premier Sports Cup group stage opener on Saturday.
Thelin explained he left out the striker because “there is a lot of things going around him right now” – including transfer speculation.
Bologna, who have qualified for the Champions League, have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old.
The Serie A club are on the hunt for a new striker, having sold Joshua Zirkzee to Manchester United for £36.5million.
It is understood Miovski was highlighted as a potential candidate to replace Zirkzee.
Bologna target Greek international
However, reports in Italy suggest Bologna are now looking at another striker signing target.
Corrriere dello Sport claim Bologna are working to push through a transfer for Panathinaikos striker Fotis Ioannidis.
Greek international Ioannidis is reportedly keen on a move to Bologna.
But the two clubs are also reportedly far apart in their valuation of Ioannidis, who netted 23 goals in 44 matches for Panathinaikos last season.
His current club reportedly value the striker at €25m (£21m).
