Bologna are being linked with a move for Ghanaian left winger Emmanuel Addai from Qarabağ in a deal that could test the Azerbaijani club’s resolve this summer.
The 24-year-old, currently valued at €1.50m on Transfermarkt, has emerged as a rumoured target for the Serie A side as they explore attacking options ahead of next season. Addai’s contract details at Qarabağ are not publicly disclosed, and with no expiry date listed, there is already speculation that he could become a free agent if no new agreement is reached, potentially opening the door for a cut-price or Bosman-style move.
Addai, who wears the number 11 shirt for Qarabağ, operates primarily as an attacking left winger but is right-footed, offering the inverted wide option that is increasingly prized in modern systems. Born in Kumasi on 1 August 2001, he represents Ghana and stands at 1.73m, giving Bologna the profile of a quick, low-centre-of-gravity attacker rather than a traditional target man.
The link comes off the back of his performances in the Azerbaijani Premyer Liqa for Qarabağ, where he has been part of a side regularly competing for domestic honours and continental qualification. While detailed seasonal statistics are not included in the current data, the interest itself suggests scouts have been tracking his recent outings, including league fixtures in early May 2026, as Bologna assess whether he can make the step up to Serie A intensity.
The reported probability of the transfer remains unclear and is listed as “?”, underlining that negotiations – if any – are at an early, speculative stage. However, given the relatively modest market valuation, Addai would represent a low-risk investment for Bologna compared with typical Serie A fees.
Should the move materialise, a switch from the Premyer Liqa to Italy’s top flight would mark a major escalation in Addai’s career and provide a significant platform to enhance his reputation in European football.
