Virtus Bologna and Alessandro Gentile are in contact for a return of the Italian forward to the team, one year after the two sides have parted ways.

Gentile has played Virtus Bologna in 2017-2018 before leaving the team, undergoing hand surgery and returning in the middle of the 2018-2019 season joining Estudiantes.

Virtus Bologna is trying to part ways with Pietro Aradori who is not anymore in the plans of coach Sasha Djordjevic and Virtus could replace Aradori with Gentile.

Gentile was coached by Sasha Djordjevic in Treviso before he moved to Olimpia Milano where he won two Serie A titles.
