Nikola Moro

Nikola Moro of Bologna was born in Split, Croatia on 12 March 1998 (age 28).

Nikola Moro (born 12 March 1998, age 28) is a Croatian defensive midfielder with Bologna, where he wears the No 6 shirt. His current market value is around £5.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Before Bologna, his best scoring league season came at Dynamo Moscow in 2020-2021, when he scored three goals in 24 appearances. That remains the outlier in a career built more on position, control and midfield reliability than on goals.

Bologna has given his career its main shape. Across five seasons there, Moro has made 106 league appearances and scored three league goals, a sizeable body of work for a player operating in the less glamorous part of midfield. In 2026-2027, he has made five Serie A appearances and two in the Supercoppa, taking him to seven Bologna appearances in all competitions for the season.

He has also stayed involved with Croatia, making four appearances in European World Cup qualifying this season. Moro’s career is a steady one: Dynamo Moscow gave him a productive spell, but Bologna has been the long, central stretch.
