Confirmation that Jaden Philogene has signed with the Raiola agency has sparked speculation that he could leave Ipswich Town this summer.
Philogene joined the Tractor Boys from Aston Villa in January 2025, making 10 appearances as they were relegated from the Premier League.
The 24-year-old had more of an impact in 2025/26, scoring 12 goals in 35 league outings, 24 of them starts, as the Suffolk side sealed immediate promotion back to the top flight.
He is under contract until June 2029, but transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has suggested he could leave Portman Road after changing agents to Team Raiola.
The organisation, the legacy of the late 'super agent' Mino Raiola, already represents Premier League stars like Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch, Tottenham's Micky van der Ven and Man City's Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Ipswich are under no pressure to sell under Profitability and Sustainability Rules but news of the development hints that the winger might be considering a move ahead of the new season.
Ipswich are reportedly open to the idea if they can secure a fee above the reported £37.5m they received for last summer's record sale of Omari Hutchinson to Nottingham Forest.
Here are three potential destinations for the Hammersmith-born star.
Bologna
English players no longer fear going abroad and Bologna have been linked with tempting Philogene to Serie A.
The Rossoblu already have former Norwich man Jonathan Rowe on their books and are captained by Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson.
Those connections could help Philogene to settle at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara and his high-energy style should also work under Bologna's new coach, Domenico Tedesco.
Tedesco is known for setting his sides up to press from the front and try to hit opposition defences with skill and pace.
Philogene fits that mould and could occupy the left-sided attacking berth in the coach's preferred 3-4-2-1 shape.
Bologna are looking to reinvigorate their squad after finishing eighth and missing out on Europe last season, and are reportedly considering making an offer.
Roma
Another Italian club believed to be in the market for Philogene is Roma, and there is an obvious precedent to explore.
Gian Piero Gasperini took the Giallorossi to third in last season's Serie A, earning the club its first place in the UEFA Champions League since 2018/19, which only adds to their transfer pull.
That was Gasperini's first campaign at the Olimpico and had the usual ups and downs associated with one of the most confrontational managers in Italian football.
However, he is also a brilliant coach, and is looking to reshape the squad like he did over nine excellent years at Atalanta.
Among the success stories during his time in Bergamo was Ademola Lookman's emergence, winning African Footballer of the Year in 2024 after scoring a hat-trick in La Dea's Europa League final win over Bayer Leverkusen.
Another Londoner, Lookman had struggled to settle before joining Atalanta but excelled under Gasperini, despite often publicly clashing.
Philogene is enjoying a good career, but there remains a sense that his potential still has some way to go before it is fully realised, and Gasperini might be the man to get the best from him.
Besiktas
Could Philogene be heading to Turkey?
Besiktas have been linked with his signature, initially last year when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge and again under new boss Vincenzo Italiano.
He left Bologna to take up the vacancy in Istanbul and the club have already confirmed the permanent transfer of Orkun Kucku after a successful loan from Benfica, which saw him take the captaincy, as well as Monaco left-back Kassoum Ouattara.
After finishing only fourth in last season's Super Lig, the Black Eagles look set for a revamp under Italiano.
Philogene would provide fresh energy and create chances for South Korean forward Oh Hyeon-gyu, who scored six times after joining from Genk in February.
