According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, former Internazionale defender Francesco Acerbi is still attracting interest from Serie A teams after leaving the club. Sassuolo and Bologna are reportedly interested in the experienced center-back, and he has also been offered to Napoli.

Acerbi left Internazionale as a free agent this summer when his contract expired. Bologna is looking to strengthen its defense and has included the 38-year-old Italian center-back in their considerations. However, the team is also pursuing other targets, including Nathan Gassama.

La Gazzetta dello Sport states that Bologna initially hoped to sign a left-footed center-back, not necessarily as an immediate starter, but to continue developing the young defenders acquired over the past two years.

However, the team is now considering a change in strategy, turning to a more experienced veteran with leadership qualities, and Acerbi fits this profile perfectly. His extensive Serie A experience and match temperament could make him an important figure in the team's defense.

The report states: "Acerbi's name quickly entered discussions. This is just an initial idea, and the club is still weighing the pros and cons."

Acerbi's previous annual salary at Internazionale was around 3 million euros, a level that Bologna would find difficult to afford, so it remains uncertain whether the two parties can reach an agreement.

In addition to Bologna, Acerbi's former club Sassuolo is also interested in him. The center-back played for Sassuolo for 5 years and now has the opportunity to return to a familiar environment.

Furthermore, Acerbi has also been offered to Napoli, who are also looking into potential defensive reinforcements.
