Marko Arnautovic has arrived in Bologna, where he was greeted by cheering fans with flags and fireworks.
The Austria international had agreed terms with the Serie A side weeks ago, but struggled to terminate his contract by mutual consent with Shanghai Port, previously known as Shanghai SIPG.
The matter was eventually resolved when Bologna agreed to pay a €3m transfer fee to the Chinese club.
When Arnautovic arrived in Bologna, he was greeted by ultras cheering under his hotel.
They already had a huge flag with the image of him wearing the Bologna jersey and were singing his name as he made his way through the crowd, so he held the banner up himself.
