Italian Serie A side Bologna have completed the signing of promising Ghanaian youngster Kwesi Sorotu Badori from Berekum Chelsea on a season-long loan, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.
The deal, confirmed on February 5, 2026, marks a significant milestone in Badori’s young career, as he takes his first step into European football after impressing in the Ghana Premier League. The versatile player has been one of Berekum Chelsea’s standout performers, earning attention for his composure, work rate and maturity beyond his years.
Bologna are expected to closely monitor Badori’s progress during the loan spell before deciding whether to activate the permanent transfer clause. Club sources believe the move aligns with Bologna’s strategy of investing in young talent with high development potential.
For Berekum Chelsea, the transfer represents another successful pathway for local talent to reach the international stage, reinforcing the club’s reputation as a breeding ground for emerging Ghanaian players.
Badori’s move is also seen as a boost for Ghana football, as more young players continue to secure opportunities in top European leagues. The youngster is expected to link up with Bologna’s squad immediately as he begins the next chapter of his career in Italy.
