Aberdeen have kicked out a bid by Serie A side Bologna to sign coveted full-back Calvin Ramsay on loan with an option to buy.
As the window enters its final days, however, the Pittodrie side are bracing themselves for a £5million offer from Leeds United – with Manchester United and Leicester City also in the hunt.
Bologna proposed to take the 18-year-old on loan for £800,000 until the end of the season, with an option to make the deal permanent this summer for £4.5million.
Aware the Italian side raked in £6million from Club Brugges for Danish winger Andreas Skov Olsen this week, however, Aberdeen insist the loan proposal is unacceptable.
