Thijs Dallinga, born on 3 August 2000 (age 25), is a Netherlands striker with Bologna, where he wears number 24 and remains a regular first-team presence in 2025-26.
His sharpest league season came in 2021-22 with Excelsior, when he scored 32 goals in 37 appearances. That return still stands out in his career: a proper striker’s year, rather than a statistical curiosity.
At Bologna, Dallinga has continued to be involved across the front line. In 2025-26 he has made 23 Serie A appearances, scoring twice, with further outings in the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa and Europa League. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has played 37 times and scored five goals, including three in Europe.
His current market value is around £10m, according to Transfermarkt. Dallinga’s career to this point is that of a proven goalscorer from the Dutch game who has had to adapt to a more demanding role in Italy, while still keeping himself in the Bologna side.
