Abass on hold at Virtus Bologna as Lonati is monitored

Virtus Bologna's search to strengthen its Italian players continues. According to Enrico Schiavina of Corriere di Bologna, Awudu Abass's return to the bianconero shirt is not as close as it appeared just days ago. The process of terminating the wing player's expensive contract with Dubai is slowing the operation.

Meanwhile, the club is reportedly interested in Achille Lonati. The Milan native, born in 2007, is in his second season with the St. Bonaventure university team and has so far managed to find limited playing time.

According to the newspaper, Lonati and Abass are very different profiles in terms of age, skill set, experience and cost. For this reason, the two names are not seen as direct alternatives to each other. Virtus continues to evaluate possible reinforcements for its Italian player group.
