dailyrecord.co.uk:

Bologna have broken cover the race for Calvin Ramsay as the Italians look to tempt Aberdeen with a £3.3million offer. The Serie A side have been following the Scotland youth international for several months as they look to strengthen for the second half of the season.

The Rossoblu are ready to offer €4m plus further future incentives which would be a club record sale for Aberdeen but they're likely to ask for a higher fee.

Bologna are aware of growing interest from the English Premier League and don’t want to get embroiled in a bidding war. Several English clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Leicester City, Leeds and Southampton all watched the talented 18-year-old in action against Rangers on Tuesday evening and some of them are set to step up their interest.Bologna have already seen the value in the Scottish market through Aaron Hickey.They signed the left-back from Hearts for £1.5million and now he is being courted by top teams in Italy and the Premier League.Boss Sinisa Mihajlovic made clear after the loss to Verona that he is expecting the club to make moves before the window closes.The Serb said: "When you're missing 10 players and three or four are playing with knocks one small mistake can undo you."We're in a state of emergency and have been for three games now."We're hoping something will come on the transfer market, because others are strengthening."I'm expecting a midfielder to come in but I'd like other players to have a larger squad.

But it's up to the club."Blackburn Rovers have also verbally agreed a pre-contract with Aberdeen midfielder Ryan Hedges.They are likely to make an offer before the close of the window.
