Born on 19th June 1999, Italian right back defender Nadir Zortea currently plays for Bologna. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing 13st 5lb (85kg), he patrols the pitch wearing the number 20 jersey. Zortea's market value currently stands at around £6.5m according to Transfermarkt.
Before joining Bologna, Zortea embarked on numerous loan moves, beginning with a transfer to Cremonese in Serie A from Atalanta in July 2019. In his spell at Cremonese, he made 23 first team appearances and netted one goal during the 2019 - 2020 season, followed by 29 league appearances the following season.
He returned briefly to Atalanta in June 2021 before being loaned out again to Salernitana in the Serie C, where he racked up 29 appearances and a single goal. Despite brief returns to Atalanta, Zortea's tours in the lower leagues continued with stints at Sassuolo in Serie A and then Frosinone in Serie B.
Zortea's time at Atalanta came to a definitive end in July 2024 when he transferred to Cagliari in Serie A, a move that saw him transfer for approximately £4.3m. During the 2024 - 2025 season, Zortea put in 35 first team performances and scored six goals, a tally which likely caught the attention of Bologna.
It was in August 2025 that Zortea transferred from Cagliari to Bologna, a move costing roughly £6.5m. He's since made 16 appearances in the 2025 - 2026 season and has also made his mark on the Europa League stage with four starts.
