Bologna club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 4 players club-trained at Bologna now play for other clubs we track, led by Antonio Raimondo (Frosinone, value €14m), Federico Ravaglia (Watford, value €7m) and Wisdom Amey (Frosinone, value €4m).

• Antonio Raimondo · Frosinone · €14m
• Federico Ravaglia · Watford · €7m
• Wisdom Amey · Frosinone · €4m
• Dejan Stojanovic · Rheindorf Altach · €410k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
