Juventus, the prominent Serie A club, is making significant strides towards securing the services of Bologna’s defender, Riccardo Calalfiori, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Calafiori has showcased his talent in Serie A this season while playing for Bologna, earning recognition for his performances under the guidance of manager Thiago Motta. According to Giovanni Albanese’s report, Juventus is increasingly enthusiastic about the prospect of signing Calafiori, and negotiations are progressing well, with the player himself showing a strong interest in the potential move.
Though this development doesn’t alter the fundamental aspects of the transfer, it represents a positive development for Juventus. Calafiori is being eyed as a replacement for Alex Sandro, as the club seeks a left-footed defender to fill the void left by the departing Brazilian. Bologna values the Italian defender in the range of €25 million to €30 million, but Juventus might explore including a player in the deal to facilitate the transfer.
Fabio Miretti and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia are potential candidates to be included in the deal, or alternatively, Juventus could opt to offload someone like Dean Huijsen to free up financial resources and then proceed to secure Calafiori’s services outright.
