The Gosens affair gets complicated and the rossoblù go for Miranda
After a decisive attack from Benfica for the left-footed former Atalanta player, Bologna responded promptly and pushed forward to offer a total of 9 million to Union Berlin which however continued to remain adamant about some details. First of all the evaluation remained at 10 million (2 of onerous loan plus 8 of obligation) but also the conditions for the mandatory redemption of the registration card: the Germans wanted them to be easily accessible while the rossoblù preferred them to be more challenging.
Despite the long work carried out also thanks to Gosens’ entourage, who would have liked to return to Italy, the negotiation fell through and Bologna has broken the deadlock on another goal.
Miranda grew up in the Barcelona youth system
In a matter of hours he convinced the Spanish full-back Juan Miranda24 year old who will be released tomorrow, Sunday 30 June, from Betis Seville and who was already in Casteldebole for medical visits. He will sign a four-year contract: three years plus an option for the following season. A real blitz with which the manager Sartori, who had followed him during his time at Atalanta, overcame the proposals of Porto, West Ham and several Italian teams who have been monitoring the outside for some time: above all Roma, Juventus and Milan, who had thought about purchasing it already in January.
Born in Olivares and raised in the Barcelona youth system, Miranda made his debut for the Blaugrana in 2018, also playing a Champions League match against Tottenham, then he was one year on loan at Schalke before moving to Betis in 2020.
In the list of those called up for the Paris Olympics
Full-back of decent physical structure (185 cm and 71 kg), he made 111 appearances in total in the green and white jersey with 8 goals and 11 assists while also playing in Europe and the Conference League and was the protagonist of the entire climb in the Spanish youth national teams up to the Olympic one. Miranda is on the list of players called up for Paris and Bologna will have to accept not having him available until mid-August, not being able to anymore oppose the call as in the case of the attacker Castro, requested by Italiano for retirement.
Holm signed permanently, Zirkzee heading to Manchester United
Even more so given that the story is linked to the future of Joshua Zirkzee should be resolved shortly with the activation of the release clause by a suitor (Manchester United ahead) and at that point Bologna will have to identify a replacement. For the rossoblù attack the name of Fotis Ioannidis stands out (for whom an offer of 20 million has already been presented to Panathinaikos), followed by Burkardt of Mainz and Dallinga of Toulouse. Finally it was made official the permanent purchase of Emil Holm from Spezia: four-year contract for the Swede.
