The Italian club Bologna announced today, its official contract with the historic top scorer Chero Imobili, coming from the Turkish club Besiktas, in a move that brings the veteran striker to the Italian league atmosphere after one season of departure.
Details of the contract and return to Italy
Bologna did not disclose the terms of the contract in its official statement, but the “Sky Sport Italy” network revealed that Imobili signed a contract that extends for one season, with the option to extend an additional season, in light of the club’s desire to benefit from its offensive experience with the approaching continental participation.
A new station after a Turkish experience
Emobili (34 years old) has played one season in the ranks of Turkish Besiktas, during which he scored 15 goals in 31 games, before his contract was canceled by mutual consent early this week, following a mutual understanding with the club management.
Records and a remarkable past with Lazio
Emobili has a brilliant football career, which started with Juventus, and passed through Genoa, Torino, Borussia Dortmund and Seville, but his real brilliance was in the Lazio shirt, which he played between 2016 and 2024, scoring 207 goals in 340 games.
The 2019-2020 season is the most prominent of his career, when he crowned the title of top scorer and 36 goals, equivalent to the record recorded in the name of Gonzalo Higuain.
A new stage after a difficult end in Lazio
Imobili lived difficult periods in the end of his career with Lazio, after he came out of the starting lineup and was subjected to sharp criticism from the masses, and reached threats to his family, which hurried his departure despite his great position in the club’s history.
European addition to Bulonia
The Imobili deal comes at an important time for Paulia, who is preparing to participate in the European League after crowning the Italian Cup for the first time since 1974, and presented it for a strong season in the Champions League last year. The coach is counting on the veteran striker’s experience in leading the offensive line during the new season’s competitions.
