Milan are showing interest in young talent Jonathan Rowe, currently at Bologna. The club are monitoring emerging players, aiming to combine quality, potential, and economic sustainability.
Rowe’s Impressive Performances Attract Attention
Rowe has stood out this season with consistent performances. The English talent, born in 2003, is reportedly a target for Milan, who are keen on investing in players ready for a step up and already familiar with Serie A.
Milan’s interest stems from a need for players who can offer alternatives in attack. Rowe is versatile, capable of playing multiple roles and providing different solutions in the attacking phase, a quality highly valued by the Milan staff.
The idea is to move away from the 3-5-2 formation used this season and consider a formation with attacking wingers.
Bologna’s Stance and Potential Transfer Fee
Bologna acquired Rowe in August 2025 from Marseille for approximately €19.5 million (including bonuses) plus 10% on any future sale and are not keen to part with him easily. The club believe in his development and see him as an important investment. Therefore, any potential negotiation could be difficult, with his valuation increasing if he continues to improve. Currently, a fee of €25 million or more would be required to acquire him.
Milan’s Strategy and Rabiot Reunion
Milan are monitoring the situation closely, aiming to get ahead of the competition. More concrete developments could occur in the coming months, especially if the player is open to a transfer. A move to Milan would be a significant step in Rowe’s career, offering the chance to play Champions League football and further develop his game.
Rowe could be reunited with his former Marseille teammate Adrien Rabiot at Milan. The two were involved in an altercation in the Marseille dressing room. Without intervention, the two players would have come to blows, exchanging insults and threats. The club was shocked, and both were transfer-listed. Rowe moved to Bologna, while Rabiot joined Milan.
Milan continues to monitor emerging talents in line with their strategy.
