Bologna reportedly interested in Olympiacos defender Lorenzo Pirola

Italian Serie A club Bologna has renewed its interest in 24-year-old Olympiacos defender Lorenzo Pirola. According to Italian media reports published on March 28, 2026, the Italian club is monitoring the player as a potential replacement for Jhon Lucumi, whose contract expires next summer. Pirola, a former Inter and Salernitana player born in 2002, has become a key figure in Jose Luis Mendilibar’s defense this season alongside Panagiotis Retsos. Despite experiencing some injury issues, the Italian center-back has performed well for the Greek side, including appearances in the UEFA Champions League. Reports suggest that Bologna has tracked the player since last year and views him as a reliable talent. While Olympiacos has not commented on potential transfers, multiple Italian clubs are reportedly interested in signing the defender during the upcoming summer transfer window.
