Bologna forward Riccardo Orsolini made it clear in a recent interview that he has no intention of causing a stir to secure a transfer, and his discussions with new coach Gennaro Gattuso have left him excited for the upcoming season.
"I’ve never thought about pressuring the club or creating trouble to leave," Orsolini stated. "Bologna has given me the space to grow, and right now I’m focused on progressing with the team." The 27-year-old Italian winger, who contributed 10 goals and 5 assists for Bologna last season and is a key figure in their attack, had been linked with a move to other clubs.
Speaking about his conversations with new manager Gattuso, Orsolini sounded upbeat: "We talked a lot, from tactical ideas to attitudes on the pitch. His vision is very clear, and it made me see the possibility of staying here. His passion and experience are inspiring—I can’t wait to start the new season under his guidance."
Despite occasional transfer rumors, Orsolini’s stance is clear: without the right opportunity, he prefers to stay at Bologna and work with the new coach to achieve better results. This pragmatism and focus could well be the steadying force the team needs in the new season.
