Official: Bologna sign Matteo Darmian on free transfer from Inter
Bologna have completed the free transfer signing of Matteo Darmian from Inter. The 35-year-old Italian full-back, who previously spent four seasons at Manchester United between 2015 and 2019, returns to familiar Serie A surroundings after winning the Scudetto with Inter last season. The move gives Bologna valuable defensive depth as they prepare for their Champions League campaign, while freeing up wage space at Inter ahead of their own transfer window activity.
Read the full story at football-italia.netBologna continue to demonstrate the kind of shrewd, low-cost recruitment that has powered their recent rise under Vincenzo Italiano, picking up a serial winner in Darmian without paying a transfer fee. For Inter, offloading a senior defender on a free is largely a salary-clearing exercise rather than a sporting loss, with the Italian champions already well-stocked at full-back. Darmian's versatility across both flanks and his big-game pedigree — including Premier League, Serie A, and Champions League experience — make him a smart, low-risk addition for a Bologna side balancing domestic and European demands.
