August 29, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

The 2004-born winger might make a return to Italy, simultaneously opening the door for the Dea's assault, for over 35 million euros.

Atalanta's strong push to acquire Jonathan Rowe (23 years old) continues. Helping the Dea and their Sporting Director Giuntoli could be a player the Nerazzurri executive knows well, having promoted him to the first team with Thiago Motta during his time at Juventus. We are referring to Samuel Mbangula (22, pictured).

Possible Return to Serie A

The 2004-born Belgian-Congolese attacking winger has been a Werder Bremen player since last summer, having been bought from Juventus for 10 million euros after a good season with the Bianconeri. Today, Bologna is reportedly tracking him, according to Sky Sport, which explains that the Emilia club has expressed interest and would be open to bringing him back to Serie A.

Dea's Increased Bid for Rowe

This development could aid Atalanta's desire to secure Rowe. According to information from the satellite broadcaster, the Dea has raised its offer to 33 million euros plus 2 million in bonuses and is awaiting confirmation from Bologna in the coming hours.
