The 21-year-old player arrived for his medical examinations last night and successfully passed all tests, enabling him to sign his contract today. His new deal with the Stadio Dall'Ara club will run until June 2031.
Amondarain: A New Addition for Bologna
Multiple reports indicate that the total cost of the operation amounts to €9 million, plus further bonuses contingent on his performance. Additionally, Estudiantes will receive 10% of any future transfer fee for Amondarain.
Amondarain becomes the 17th Argentine player to represent Bologna. Coincidentally, another Argentine, Santiago Castro, is undergoing his medical for a €35 million plus add-ons move to Roma today.
