Italian Serie A club \u200eBologna FC have expressed interest in signing Super Eagles-eligible defender Daniel Oyegoke from Hellas Verona this summer, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n Oyegoke is coming of a disappointing season with Verona last season<\/a>. The 23-year-old defender joined the club from Scottish side Hearts last summer, and he quickly became a regular part of the team, featuring in 15 Serie A games. But he failed to help them avoid relegation.<\/p>\n But despite his dismal campaign, his displays have attracted Bologna, who are looking to bolster their squad so they can mount a better challenge in the Italian top-flight next season.<\/p>\n According to Transfer Feed<\/a>, Bologna and Verona have already started talks for Oyegoke, and the former have placed a \u20ac5 million price tag on him, even though he is valued at \u20ac1 million on Transfermarkt.<\/a> <\/p>\n It is unknown whether the deal will go through, but Oyegoke will likely be happy to make the move, as it will afford him with an opportunity to continue playing top-flight football.<\/p>\n Daniel Oyegoke is a product of the Barnet and Arsenal academies but was unable to break into the first team. He began his professional career with Brentford in 2021.<\/p>\n In 2024, Oyegoke moved to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, and he left after just half a season to join Hellas Verona in 2025. If he decides to switch to the Super Eagles, he will be a decent addition to the Super Eagles team, and could even be a good replacement for Ola Aina, who will be 30 years old in October.<\/p>\n Oyegoke is very strong, has an impressive work rate, and can play across different positions at the back.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/27xFfgc-m1CKF8ztFOiwve1nvmk=\/1600x1066\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F06%2Fimago1073587207.jpg\")

\u200eHe was born to Nigerian parents in England which makes him eligible to play for both the Three Lions and the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
\u200e
\u200eThe 23-year-old has, however, represented England from U-16 to U-20 but is yet to play for the senior team.
