The transfer is a permanent deal, reportedly valued at €19.5 million according to Sky Sport Italia.

Bologna characterized Rowe as a highly adaptable player, capable of operating effectively on both wings.

This summer, the 22-year-old was part of the England national team that triumphed in the U21 Euros.

Rowe`s move to the Stadio Dall’Ara follows a significant disagreement with his former Marseille teammate Adrien Rabiot, an incident that led to both players being sidelined by the French club.

Bologna’s 2025-26 Serie A campaign began with a 1-0 defeat to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.

This summer, the Rossoblu notably offloaded Dan Ndoye and Sam Beukema, while bolstering their squad with the additions of Martin Vitik, Nadir Zortea, Torbjorn Heggem, Federico Bernardeschi, and Ciro Immobile.

Before his move to Marseille last summer, Rowe, who developed through the AFC Wembley and Norwich City academies, contributed one assist across 13 Premier League appearances.
