Everton enter race for Bologna winger Rowe amid €45m valuation
Transfer reporter Nicolò Schira confirms Everton’s interest in Jonathan Rowe, with Chelsea and Aston Villa also monitoring the England-born forward.
Everton have registered interest in signing Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to transfer reporter Nicolò Schira. The Premier League club is considering a move for the England-born forward as part of an effort to refresh its attacking options.
Bologna have placed a €45m valuation on the player and are under no pressure to sell. The Italian side is demanding the full asking price and is not currently entertaining offers below that threshold. This stance places significant financial pressure on any suitor hoping to secure the winger’s services.
The link between Everton and Rowe is currently described as interest rather than a concrete approach. The situation is expected to unfold over the course of the summer, with the Toffees’ willingness to meet the valuation remaining to be seen.
Rowe joined Bologna last season and has been involved in Serie A matches, including a fixture against US Cremonese in April 2026. His recent performances have drawn attention from multiple clubs, highlighting his growing profile in European football.
Chelsea and Aston Villa are also linked with moves for the winger. The competition for Rowe’s signature suggests that Bologna may have leverage in negotiations, given the interest from several top-flight English clubs.
The exact timeline for a potential transfer remains unclear. Everton’s pursuit of Rowe will likely be closely monitored in the coming weeks as the summer window progresses and other clubs assess their own positions.
The valuation set by Bologna reflects the club’s confidence in the player’s value and their lack of urgency to offload him. Any deal will require Everton to justify the significant investment amidst a competitive market for attacking talent.
