Giaccherini set for Bologna

By Football Italia staff

Emanuele Giaccherini is expected to undergo his Bologna medical tomorrow, leaving Sunderland.

The versatile 30-year-old midfielder has been in England since July 2013, when the Black Cats paid €7.5m to take him from Juventus.

He barely featured last season and confessed he wanted a change of scenery.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Giaccherini will be in Italy on Sunday to undergo his medical with Bologna.

The newly-promoted club have invested heavily over the summer, bringing in the likes of Mattia Destro, Godfred Donsah, Antonio Mirante and Franco Brienza.

This deal is expected to be a loan with option to buy for the Rossoblu.
