Pellegrino ‘to join’ Fiorentina, Piccoli ‘to join’ Bologna, Dallinga ‘to join’ FC Koln | OneFootball

A centre-forward domino is gathering pace, with Parma’s Mateo Pellegrino lined up for Fiorentina, Roberto Piccoli for Bologna, and Thijs Dallinga for FC Koln. Multiple outlets, including Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and Fabrizio Romano, report the pieces are moving into place.

The most complicated element is Pellegrino’s switch from Parma to Fiorentina for around €20m, which appears close, with the Argentine having agreed personal terms. Juventus had monitored him as an alternative to Randal Kolo Muani.

Once Pellegrino is sold to Fiorentina, the Viola can in turn send Piccoli to Bologna for €15m plus add-ons, likely as a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season.

Bologna are making room by moving Dallinga to FC Koln on loan with an option to buy. Werder Bremen are also interested in the 26-year-old, but Koln are a long way ahead in negotiations.

The chain was set in motion when Parma secured El Bilal Touré from Atalanta, a €1.5m loan with an obligation to buy for a further €10m plus add-ons.
