Bologna and Nottingham Forest are in talks over a potential player exchange.
Bologna are keen to bring Remo Freuler to Italy after just the one season at the City Ground.
After seven years with Atalanta, Frueler left for Forest last summer, but experienced an inconsistent Premier League campaign.
La Gazzetta dello Sport says Bologna are pushing to sign Freuler, which has sparked an enquiry from Forest for midfielder Nico Dominguez.
An exchange could occur, though negotiations could run independently as Bologna are demanding 15m cash to sell Dominguez.
