'Sassuolo agree £10m fee for Bowie' - gossip

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish gossip roundup says Sassuolo are reported to have reached a deal worth £10m, with possible future add-ons, to sign Scotland striker Kieron Bowie from Hellas Verona. The BBC attributed that claim to the Daily Record, which also reported that the 23-year-old has agreed terms on a five-year contract with the Serie A side. Bowie was pictured in the BBC item with a caption noting he was part of a Hellas Verona squad relegated from Serie A.

The same roundup also highlighted developments at Rangers, where winger Nedim Bajrami could be heading to Saudi Arabia. The BBC cited the Scottish Sun as reporting that Rangers were in talks with Al-Taawoun over an initial loan that could later be worth £2.5m, while a separate claim from Dakir Mohamed Thanveer on X said Rangers had accepted an offer from the Saudi Pro League club for the 27-year-old.

Other reported Rangers transfer lines included a Daily Record claim that the club are no longer pursuing Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl, with manager Derek McInnes said to be prioritising a right-sided winger instead. The Rangers Review was cited as saying the club still want defensive reinforcements and two players who can operate from the right wing, while central midfield is not currently the main focus.

The roundup matters chiefly as a snapshot of the Scottish transfer market, but the items remain attributed reports rather than confirmed club announcements. It also mentioned Bologna plans for talks with Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson, Houston Dynamo interest in Marcelo Saracchi, Aaron Donnelly’s Dundee exit to Dunfermline, and Duncan Ferguson’s readiness to return to management.
