Switzerland‑Nigeria midfielder Simon Sohm of Bologna is being linked with a summer move from Fiorentina to Serie A rivals Sassuolo, with the 25-year-old central midfielder valued at around €8.00m.
The speculation, recorded on 23 June 2026 with the probability of the transfer still listed as “?”, places Sassuolo among the clubs monitoring Sohm’s situation in Italy as planning for next season intensifies. While there is no confirmation of an agreed fee or personal terms, the rumour suggests Sassuolo view him as a potential reinforcement in central midfield, either via a permanent transfer or if he were to move on in future as a free agent once contractual details become clearer.
Born in Zürich on 11 April 2001, the 1.88m right‑footed midfielder has built his reputation as a powerful, box‑to‑box presence. Currently on the books at Bologna and wearing the number 23 shirt, Sohm is listed primarily as a central midfielder but is seen as capable of operating in a variety of central roles. Transfermarkt’s latest valuation sets his market value at €8.00m, a figure likely to shape any negotiations should Fiorentina and Sassuolo advance talks.
Sohm, who holds both Swiss and Nigerian nationality, has gained experience in Serie A and is regarded as entering his prime years at 25. His recent performances have kept him in the shop window, including his latest outing for Bologna, where he featured in a tight Serie A fixture earlier this month, contributing in midfield in a game that underlined his physical presence and tactical discipline, even if it ended in a narrow defeat.
With no public details on contract start or expiry dates, his medium‑term status remains opaque, leaving room for scenarios ranging from a fee‑based transfer to a later free‑agent departure. If a move to Sassuolo does materialise, it could prove a pivotal step in shaping Sohm’s career trajectory, offering him a larger platform in Serie A and the opportunity to elevate both his reputation and long‑term market value.
