Italian Defender Calafiori in High Demand as Transfer Speculation Grows

The defender was one of the few players who genuinely impressed for Italy at EURO 2024, especially as he only received his first cap last month.

Juve have been tracking him for many months, but by poaching Bologna’s coach Thiago Motta, they damaged their rapport with the club.

“I don’t think he will go to Juventus, it will probably be abroad, but we will try to keep him.”

There are even suggestions that Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United could be in the race.

Bologna signed Calafiori last year from FC Basel for just €4m, but with the proviso they owe the Swiss team 40 per cent of the profit from the sell-on fee.

With that in mind and his recent form, the Rossoblu want at least €50m to part with the versatile defender, who can play centrally, as a left-back or even in a more advanced role.
