Bologna will not force departure from Dallinga: Dutch can be saved
According to Tuttomercatoweb.
Why this matters
Thijs Dallinga's situation at Bologna is crucial for the team's future in Serie A. The Emilian club believes in the potential of the Dutch striker, who should compete for a place in attack alongside Artem Dovbyk. Dallinga's stay could influence the dynamics of Bologna's attack, especially after a season in which his performance did not live up to expectations.
Main conclusions
- Bologna will not force departure from Dallinga: Dutch can be saved.
- Bologna keeps Dallinga in its plans and will not force his departure.
- Bologna, the future of Dallinga remains legato in the market, but it doesn't forsake the mano per un'uscita.
Thijs Dallinga is not currently on Bologna's exit door. According to local authorities, the Emilian club continues to believe in the Dutch striker and does not intend to rush any decision into the market, unless a truly convincing proposal emerges, capable of satisfying both the player and the Rossoblù administration.
Dallinga's own intention also weighs in the equation: the ex-Tolosa player is determined to continue at Renato Dall’Ara and compete for a place in the lineup. The plan is to establish himself among the coach's options and fight for a place alongside Artem Dovbyk, a direct competitor in the center of the attack. Although his name has been, in the recent past, associated with a possible exit — largely due to a previous technical context that has already been overcome — the current scenario is one of greater stability and mutual trust.
Still, the future of the Dutch international remains linked to market dynamics. Bologna recognizes that Dallinga's performance last season fell short of expected potential, but does not want to give up on the player without clear technical and economic guarantees. In the case of a strong proposal, the dossier will be evaluated, but without rushing or last-minute concessions.
There is, however, an essential condition for any movement: substitution. SAD will only consider a sale after identifying and securing a reliable profile to complete the attack. This care becomes even more important considering that Artem Dovbyk did not have a fully consistent physical record last year, which is why the depth of options in the offensive sector is seen as a priority by the structure.
On the field, the new coach has shown confidence in Dallinga, who is working to convince the coaching staff and gain space in the initial choices. Outside of it, Giovanni Sartori and Marco Di Vaio closely monitor the striker market, aware of the current difficulties in finding quality solutions at sustainable costs in Serie A and on the European scene.
For Bologna, the management of this dossier is strategic: preserving sporting and patrimonial value, maintaining competitiveness in attack and, only as a last resort, opening the door for a transfer if an irrefutable opportunity arises. Until then, Dallinga continues with his plans and is preparing to discuss, on the field, the status he seeks on the Rossoblù front.
What happens next
Bologna are not willing to force Dallinga out unless a financially advantageous proposal emerges in the transfer market. The club will only consider selling the player after securing a suitable replacement, which demonstrates their intention to maintain a competitive attack in Serie A. Dallinga's future will therefore depend on Bologna's ability to find a reliable replacement.
