Attributed to original sourceAtalanta have returned with a new and improved offer for Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe worth in excess of €35m, but the Rossoblu have made it clear that they do not want to part ways with the Englishman at this stage of the summer transfer window according to multiple outlets in Italy.
Bologna turn down another Atalanta bid for Rowe According to various sources including Sky Sport Italia , Atalanta have sent a second bid to Bologna for former Marseille and Norwich City winger Rowe, worth €35m plus bonuses. They had seen a €30m offer turned down by the Rossoblu last week.
The latest offer of €35m plus bonuses has also been turned down by Bologna, who are adamant that they do not want to lose a third key first-team player this summer, having already sold Santiago Castro to Roma and Jhon Lucumi to Juventus this window.
Sky claims that it is a Bologna club policy to not part ways with any more than two key players per summer.
It remains to be seen whether or not Atalanta will come back in with another increased offer for Rowe before the close of the summer transfer window next week.
If they do not, Sky reports that Napoli’s Noa Lang is still among the alternative options for Atalanta.

What happened
Bologna have rejected the latest €35m bid from Atalanta for winger Jonathan Rowe, signalling they are not willing to part with the player at that price. The bid rejection leaves the transfer saga unresolved, with Atalanta potentially needing to increase their offer or look elsewhere. Rowe, who has been a notable performer for Bologna, remains a key figure in their squad heading into the next phase of the season.
Chance analysis
Bologna's firm stance on Jonathan Rowe underlines their ambition to retain one of their standout attacking assets and signals strength in the negotiating position. Atalanta's willingness to push to €35m shows how highly they rate the winger, but the rejection forces them to reassess whether to table an improved offer or pivot to alternative targets. With both clubs eyeing European competition, the outcome of this pursuit could shape squad depth in the final stretch of the window.
Bologna keep Rowe in their squad for the immediate term, while Atalanta's pursuit stalls unless they raise their offer or pivot targets.
