Bologna have made official the arrival of Matteo Darmian, a free agent, as reported in particular by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The player's commitment runs until June, the sports daily specifies. The Italian club announced this signing in a statement, according to Tuttosport and ANSA.

A signing linked to Holm's injury

This signing comes after the injury of Swedish player Holm, forced into a long absence due to a thigh lesion, Tuttosport indicates. Corriere dello Sport confirms that the rossoblù club has formalised the arrival of the former Inter player after this serious physical problem. Darmian, a former Inter player, joins the squad to cover for this absence, Tuttosport adds.

A particular profile in Serie A

According to Calciomercato.com, Darmian would be the only Italian playing in Serie A to have taken part in a World Cup. This information, reported by the specialised site, is not picked up by the other sources on the matter. The player, a free agent, therefore commits to the Emilian club, which made the operation official on 8 October, according to the various sources.

ANSA specifies that he is a free agent. The details of the contract, beyond the duration until June, are not specified in the available sources.
