Serie A side Bologna are prepared to offer out-of-form Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini a route out of St Mary's.
After making a flying start on the South Coast after joining from Napoli, Gabbiadini has rather struggled this season scoring just three goals in 21 appearances.
Sky Italia report that Bologna have made contact with the player's representative, but are willing to wait until the summer should a deal not be struck this month.
Bologna are currently 12th in Serie A, but goals have been a problem for them this season with top scorer Simone Verdi only having four goals to his name.
