Riccardo Orsolini, born on 24 January 1997 (age 29), is an Italian right winger whose career has come to be shaped overwhelmingly by Bologna. The early loan spells helped move him from prospect to senior player, but it is in Emilia-Romagna that his football has settled into something substantial.
At Bologna, Orsolini has worn the No 7 shirt and become a long-serving attacking presence rather than a passing project. He has made 278 league appearances across 10 seasons, scoring 77 goals. His strongest league campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored 15 goals in 30 appearances.
In 2026-27, he has made five Serie A appearances for Bologna and scored two goals. His market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Orsolini’s career is not hard to place: early development on loan, then a long, productive spell at Bologna, where his output and staying power have given the story its main shape.
