Nadir Zortea

Nadir Zortea of Bologna was born in Feltre, Italy on 19 June 1999 (age 27).

Nadir Zortea, born on 19 June 1999 (age 27), is an Italian right-back with Bologna. He wears the number 20 shirt and is valued at around £6.5m by Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at Cagliari in 2024-25, when he scored six goals in 35 appearances. For a full-back, that is a useful return rather than a footnote, and it helped mark him out as more than a purely defensive option.

By 2026-27 he was with Bologna, where he has made nine Serie A appearances. His career to this point is that of an established Italian top-flight professional, with Cagliari providing the clearest attacking output and Bologna the current stage.
