Aaron Hickey is expected to make a decision on whether he'll join Italian side Bologna today, according to reports in Italy.
Newspaper Corriere di Bologna say that the Serie A club have had a 'weekend of waiting' and expect an answer from the teenage full back shortly.
They say Bologna could close two important negotiations in the next few hours – for Hearts star Hickey and Torino defender Lorenzo di Silvestri.
According to Italian press Hickey has been offered a four year deal at the club. They are reportedly keen to pay a fee of around £1.8million for the player.

While Bologna are clearly keen to sign the 18-year-old, they aren't the only ones.
It emerged at the weekend that French giants Lyon had entered the race for his signature, while Bayern Munich's interest is well publicised, with Hickey being taken on a VIP tour of their training facilities earlier this month.
