Last month, Tottenham Hotspur identified Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori as a centre-back target, after signing Radu Drăgușin.
On Wednesday, Gazzetta dello Sport stated the north London club and Juventus are keen on the 21-year-old and that his price has ‘quadrupled’ in six months.
A fresh report from Calciomercato.it talks about Tottenham and Juve interest in the defender.
Calafiori has been a regular for Thiago Motta’s side this season, making 26 appearances in all competitions. His performances have attracted the attention of clubs in Italy and abroad.
From Italy, Juve, AC Milan and Napoli are all interested and the Old Lady will challenge their Serie A counterparts for the player’s signature. It’s also possible for Inter Milan to join the battle, if Alessandro Bastoni were to leave the San Siro.
The Turin club are ahead and their technical director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has already asked for information to carry out a potential deal.
Calciomercato.it have warned Juve to ‘keep an eye’ on Ange Postecoglou’s side and that’s because Tottenham are in the ‘front row’ to acquire Calafiori’s signature.
His deal lasts until 2027 and the report states a fee between €16m and €20m is needed to sign Calafiori in the summer.
