Sassuolo ran the rule over Calvin Ramsay and Josh Doig at the weekend.
The Serie A side joined rivals Cagliari in taking in Aberdeen ’s weekend win over Hibs.
Sassuolo were there to look at Dons’ full-back Ramsay and Hibs ’ Doig.
They have done a lot of data analysis on both players in recent months.
Ramsay was unfortunate to put through his own net against Hibs but Sassuolo were there looking at the bigger picture.
There is growing interest in the Scots market thanks to the success of Aaron Hickey at Bologna.
Sassuolo will have cash to spend this summer and are looking at a number of young European talents.
Ramsay and Doig both have impressive statistics that have already brought strong interest in them.
Italian side Bologna failed with multiple bids for Ramsay in the last window and that has alerted others.
Cagliari were also at the Aberdeen game on Saturday to watch Scotland’s Lewis Ferguson score a brace with talk of them making a loan-to-buy offer in the summer.
