Bologna sports chief Marco Di Vaio has confirmed they intend to sell Aaron Hickey this summer.
The Scotland fullback is a target for Arsenal and Brentford after an impressive 18 months in Italy.
Di Vaio concedes they're in the process of listening to offers for Hickey, though has a warning for suitors.
"It could be so, he is one of those we could sacrifice," said Di Vaio. "But if we do not get proper bids, he will probably stay another year."
Bologna are seeking €20m-plus to sell the former Hearts prospect.
