Rowe is on their list thanks to a season which has acted as a \u2018powerful springboard\u2019 for him. The 23-year-old has seven goals and four assists in 41 games.<\/p>\n<p>But Galatasaray aren\u2019t the only ones interested. There could also be an English offensive \u2018specifically Chelsea\u2019. They scouted the winger last month, with Manchester United. <\/p>\n<p>Bologna are more than aware of growing rumours that \u2018persistently suggest\u2019 that Chelsea are preparing an offer of \u20ac38m. The only thing stopping them, at present, is they may not be in the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n<p>That, it seems, is something Rowe would want from a move. Gazzetta say the \u2018player\u2019s desire remains important\u2019 when it comes to Bologna\u2019s hopes of keeping him. That desire could be European football.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian side certainly don\u2019t want to lose him after a year. But they know \u2018the danger\u2019s exist\u2019 and Chelsea are one of the clubs who fall into the dangerous category.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Chelsea need Jonathan Rowe?<\/h2>\n<p>The question is if they\u2019ll be able to move, particularly at \u20ac38m. The Blues finance are tight, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>The current squad is also bloated as well. It already boasts Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens on the left wing, while Pedro Neto is comfortable playing on that side as well. At least one of those would surely have to go before they\u2019d move for Jonathan Rowe this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Still, in Italy at least, they see Chelsea as a threat. Bologna are growing convinced they could lose their star man, and Chelsea are among those keen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n        <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea\u2019s apparent interest in Jonathan Rowe is continuing to cause alarm at Bologna, who don\u2019t&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
