Martin Erlic, a defender, has been acquired by Bologna from Sassuolo. The official announcement of the transfer is expected shortly.

Martin Erlić is transferring from Sassuolo to Bologna.

Martin Erlić has signed for Bologna, leaving Sassuolo. He passed the medical examination on Thursday and signed the contract. The transfer was relatively sudden, with interest also shown by Atalanta, Monza, Hoffenheim, Stuttgart, and Torino.

Martin Erlic, the Croatian defender born in 1998 and formerly of Spezia, is set for medical examinations with Bologna today. He was also sought by Torino.

Bologna is finalizing the signing of Erlić as part of their significant squad changes.

The transfer will be completed on a permanent basis. Sassuolo will receive a fee of 7 million euros. Erlic is expected in the city for his medical examination tomorrow, after which he will sign the contract with Bologna.

Martin Erlić is now on the verge of joining Bologna. The club's new coach, Vincenzo Italiano, who previously managed Erlić at Spezia, is a significant factor in the player's decision. Bologna needs reinforcements after finishing fourth last season and losing some players.

Previously, Martin Erlić was mentioned as a target for Bologna. Sassuolo's director mentioned that there were demands for Erlić, but nothing concrete at the time.
