Virtus Bologna’s transfer market remains open. This morning, the situation surrounding Awudu Abass appears to be less settled than suggested by recent reports. Corriere di Bologna took stock of the situation, indicating that the Italian forward’s return may not be as close as previously expected, due to the need to terminate his existing contract in Dubai. A more optimistic outlook, however, comes from the other local newspapers.
Luca Muleo, writing for Corriere dello Sport-Stadio, brings the rotation dilemma back into focus, pointing out that the team is still waiting for Abass to provide an additional Italian option. He reports that Abass “should officially confirm his return to Bologna next week.” Alessandro Gallo, writing for Resto del Carlino, also takes a cautious approach: his article opens with the line, “Waiting not for Godot, but for Abi Abass.”
Among the options being considered, Corriere di Bologna also mentions Achille Lonati, a 2007-born guard currently playing for St. Bonaventure, where he is in his second NCAA season. After averaging 2.5 points and 0.8 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game during his first year, the young Italian has played the first two games of the new season, averaging 3.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 10.5 minutes. The Italian prospect also has the backing of an agency that already represents, and has previously represented, several players who have worn the Virtus jersey.
