Jeremy Sarmiento’s name continues to pop up in transfer headlines this summer, with interest coming from all over. The Brighton & Hove Albion winger, who spent last season on loan at Burnley, is now being lined up for a move to Serie A.
A Brazilian news agency came across the Bologna story [while checking in on Cruzeiro’s old target](https://sportwitness.co.uk/brazilian-club-had-deal-in-place-for-brighton-winger-player-backed-out-at-final-stage/). The 23-year-old had been pursued by the Brazilian club earlier in the window, but a move fell through when he made it clear he didn’t want to return to South America.
Now it looks like Sarmiento has now become a concrete target for Bologna. Talks between the player’s camp and the Italian club are already advanced after Brighton made it clear he is not in manager Fabian Hürzeler’s plans.
The story also claim that in recent days, Sarmiento attracted enquiries from Middlesbrough and Millwall, but he showed no interest in playing Championship football in 2025/26. Bologna, on the other hand, are looking to strengthen their squad heavily and are studying a move for the winger this window.
The report claims the Italian side are aiming for a season-long loan until June 2026, with an option to buy. Financial terms are yet to be disclosed.
He also turned down offers from clubs in the United States and Mexico, staying firm on his plan to play in one of Europe’s top leagues. The Ecuador international now seems closer to that goal, with Bologna in a good position to make it happen.
