Bologna confirm Ramirez talks

Bologna have confirmed that they are in talks with a top European club over a deal to sell Gaston Ramirez.

The 21-year-old, who has been heavily linked with Premier League duo Manchester City and Liverpool this summer, is set to leave the Italian side. He is rated in the £20million bracket by his club but Bologna have yet to receive a suitable offer for the midfielder. "We are negotiating with an important foreign club for Ramirez, but we aren't satisfied by the offer," Bologna general director Roberto Zanzi told Italian newspaper Il Resto del Carlino. "We aren't close to a deal."
