Arthur Theate cements his place at Bologna, buy option in June
Now a fixture in Bologna's defence, with a goal and an assist lately, and a €15m buy option to be decided in June.
Arthur Theate has nailed down a spot in Bologna's defence. He has played eight Serie A games and missed only the Lecce match, through a knock, and in the last two he scored a goal and provided an assist. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, it feels like he has come back home after a first spell that ended far too soon.
His story with the club has been a back-and-forth: signed for €7m in 2021, he was sold to Rennes for €18m just 28 days later. In 2025 Eintracht wanted him for €13m, until he returned to Bologna on loan for €1m, with a €15m buy option and 15% of a future resale. The decision comes in June.
After scoring against Parma, the centre-back thanked coach Palladino: he says they work like dogs under him and trust they can do great things after the break.
