The agent of Gaston Ramirez is understood to be in England to hold talks over a possible move for the Bologna winger.
The 21-year-old Uruguayan is expected to leave the Serie A side this summer, with both Liverpool and Manchester City thought to be interested in a move.
A switch to the Premier League now looks to be edging closer following his agent's arrival in the country.
Bologna president Albano Guaraldi recently claimed that the club would not sell Ramirez for less than £16m.
