Warren Bondo, the 23-year-old AC Milan midfielder, remains a subject of discussion in winter transfer circles, while RC Lens and Stade Rennais, who targeted him last summer, see their project potentially compromised by the interest of an Italian club. According to sources close to the club, Bologna are already collecting information on the player's situation and are considering a loan with an option to buy to strengthen their midfield without immediately committing to a permanent transfer.
The lack of playing prospects at the Rossoneri has pushed Bondo to seek an exit to Serie A. A loan to Bologna would offer him more playing time and a bigger role, which fits with his progression goals. The Italian club, for its part, would benefit from the relationship already established between Bondo and Raffaele Palladino, who rubbed shoulders at Monza. This connection could reassure the midfielder and facilitate his integration into the new team.
For RC Lens and Stade Rennais, Italian competition represents an additional challenge. The two French clubs, who had studied Bondo's profile during the summer, could be forced to review their plans if the Bolognese track materializes. Although no final agreement has yet been announced, Bologna's interest poses a major obstacle for the French suitors.
Under contract with AC Milan until June 2029, Warren Bondo is valued at 4 million euros according to Transfermarkt. This amount could make his recruitment accessible, particularly as part of a loan with an option to purchase. The file remains open, however, and it remains to be seen whether Bologna will act quickly and whether AC Milan will accept the proposed conditions. The next few weeks will be decisive in determining whether the midfielder will stay in Italy or find a new destination outside the current club.
