Bologna join Fiorentina in Borna Sosa chase

Serie A club Bologna are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Croatian international Borna Sosa from Crystal Palace.

Fiorentina are also keen on Borna Sosa, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, the Croat could be on his way out of the club in the coming months.

Sosa has struggled for regular opportunities at the South London club, and he needs to move on in order to play more often. So, it is hardly surprising that Serie A clubs like Bologna and Fiorentina are keen on signing Sosa.

The 27-year-old is a quality player and he has shown that at clubs like Ajax and Torino in the past. He will look to get back to his best once again. Sitting on the bench at Crystal Palace will not benefit him. Tyrick Mitchell is ahead of him in the pecking order, and the 27-year-old Croatian international should look to move on.

It remains to be seen whether he is prepared to return to Italy. Sosa knows the league well, and he might be able to settle quickly and make an instant impact. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace are prepared to let the player move on in January. Ideally, they should look to send him out on loan so that he can play more often and regain his form and confidence.

The Croat will not get ample opportunities at the South London club during the second half of the campaign, and keeping him on the bench does not make a lot of sense. However, Crystal Palace are competing in European football, and they might need more depth in the squad. It remains to be seen what they decide.

The report claims that they are open to selling the player for a fee of around €5-6 million at the end of the season. The 27-year-old will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular opportunities, and it will be interesting to see if he can convince Crystal Palace to let him leave the club in January.

Meanwhile, the Serie A clubs need more depth in the defensive unit, and the Croatian left-back would be a very useful acquisition for them. Sosa will be hungry to prove himself at the highest level, and his desire to succeed will be a bonus for them.
