Bologna will reportedly look to sign 19-year-old English midfield prospect Charlie Gray from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Charlie Gray is the subject of interest from Bologna. The Red and Blues are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a promising midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 19-year-old Manchester City prospect has emerged as a target for the Serie A club.
The report has suggested that the Rossoblu will attempt to enter the summer transfer window prepared to efficiently make signings. Bolstering the midfield unit is a priority for Bologna, and they are monitoring the Englishman, whose “contract with City is out of date” heading into the summer transfer window.
Who is Charlie Gray?
Charlie Gray is the latest promising prospect to rise in prominence in Manchester City’s youth division. Born in Manchester, the 19-year-old has spent his formative years thus far in his home city, progressing through the ranks at Manchester City since joining the academy in 2014.
The 2006-born midfielder has already made 32 appearances for Manchester City’s reserve side, chipping in with two goals and seven assists. Meanwhile, Gray’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Bologna will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Serie A move on the horizon?
Bologna’s interest in Charlie Gray is understandable. The Red and Blues are scouring the market for a holding midfielder heading into the summer transfer window. While Vincenzo Italiano has several midfielders in his squad, he wants to add a defensive midfielder ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Several candidates have thus emerged on Bologna’s wishlist, with Gray also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that they are monitoring the 19-year-old Englishman’s situation at Manchester City, and his “contract with City is out of date” heading into the summer transfer window.
With Gray’s contract situation at Manchester City being uncertain, a bargain move to Serie A may be on the cards. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English midfield prospect heading into the summer transfer window.
