'It depends on the offers' - Euro club issue transfer stance on ex Hibs talisman amid heightened interest Former Easter Road marksman could be on the move again - just six months after his life-changing Hibs transfer exit Record-breaking former Hibs striker Kieron Bowie continues to find himself at the centre of intense transfer speculation following Hellas Verona’s relegation from the Italian top-flight last season. But the Serie B club’s sporting director has revealed they will only listen to offers for the twice-capped Scotland international if their valuation for the player is met. A host of clubs have been linked with the 23-year-old hitman in recent weeks, including Scottish champions Celtic. However, it’s understood Bowie is no longer on their radar following the £6m arrival of Camilo Duran last week, with boss Martin O’Neill still in the market for at least one other centre-forward. .jpeg?crop=3:2,smart&trim=&width=640&quality=65>) Bowie - wanted by Serie A trio Bologna, Cagliari and Sassuolo - scored four goals in 14 top-flight games last season following his £5.5m move from Hibs in January. Now he could be on the move again, just six months after his life-changing transfer. Addressing his future and that of team-mate Andrias Edmundsson, club chief Sean Sogliano stated: “It's normal that so many teams are interested in them. I hope they're guys who haven't yet been affected by the transfer market. If I could, I wouldn't put them on the market, and I'm doing so. It depends on the offers.” Verona boss Marco Baroni has already urged club officials not to sell his star man this summer, because he is too important a player, which is why a whopping £13m price tag has been slapped on Bowie - more than double what was paid to secure his services. Hibs due sizable chunk of any future sale of Bowie Bowie made his professional breakthrough at Raith Rovers back in 2019 before Fulham lured him south of the border. He was unable to force his way into the first-team set-up at Craven Cottage, but regained his form during a loan spell at Northampton Town. Hibs pounced to sign him for £600,000 in 2024 and he would go on to score 15 times in 52 appearances at Easter Road. During that time, Bowie earned his first Scotland cap before transferring to Italy. The Leith club would be due a sizeable chunk of any future sale after inserting a clause into the deal, albeit the exact details are unknown.
